A comforting and easy Slow Cooker Beef Ramen recipe featuring tender ground beef, vibrant vegetables, and savory broth, perfect for a hearty family meal with minimal hands-on time.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb. ground beef (sirloin recommended, 93/7)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2–3 large scallions, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Sauces

  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 2 cup beef stock

Other

  • 2 packs ramen noodles (noodles only, discard seasoning packets)
  • Optional: sesame seeds, extra scallions for topping

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked, then drain excess fat to keep the dish from becoming greasy. Transfer the browned beef to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Add vegetables: Layer the matchstick carrots, sliced red bell pepper, and roughly chopped scallions into the slow cooker on top of the beef for vibrant flavor and texture.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together minced garlic, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, and beef stock until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker, then stir gently to integrate all ingredients.
  4. Slow cook the mixture: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, allowing flavors to meld and the beef to become tender.
  5. Add noodles: Approximately 30 minutes before serving, add the dry ramen noodles into the slow cooker, discarding any seasoning packets as they are unnecessary. Stir frequently to prevent clumping and ensure the noodles cook evenly.
  6. Serve: Once the noodles are tender, serve the ramen hot, topped with optional sesame seeds and extra scallions for added flavor and a touch of presentation.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
  • To avoid mushy noodles, only add the ramen noodles during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • Using low sodium soy sauce helps control the saltiness of the dish.
  • You can substitute beef stock with homemade broth for richer flavor.
