How this recipe comes together
Making Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles is as simple as throwing everything into the slow cooker and letting it work its magic. First, you’ll brown the ground beef, if desired, for extra flavor, then combine it with your veggies—carrots and bell peppers add a nice crunch. The magic happens when you add soy sauce, brown sugar, and chicken stock, creating a rich broth. Finally, the ramen noodles are tossed in about 30 minutes before serving, ensuring they’re perfectly tender.
