This Slow Cooker Ramen Noodles recipe with ground beef offers a comforting and easy-to-make meal, perfect for busy days. Combining savory browned beef, a medley of vegetables, and tender ramen noodles simmered in a flavorful broth, this dish brings a hearty twist to classic ramen using a convenient slow cooker method.

  • Total Time: 2 hours 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Meat

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

Vegetables

  • 9 ounces slaw mix (about 4 cups)
  • 2 cups shredded carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Liquids & Flavorings

  • ⅓ cup low sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Pasta

  • 2 (3-ounce) packages ramen noodles (flavoring packets discarded or saved for another use)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart into small chunks. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Carefully transfer the browned ground beef to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the slaw mix, shredded carrots, minced garlic, tamari, chicken stock, and brown sugar. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Cook Until Vegetables Are Tender: Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours. Avoid uncovering during this time to retain moisture. The vegetables should become tender and the sauce bubbly.
  4. Add Ramen Noodles & Finish Cooking: Set the slow cooker to high heat (if not already). Add the ramen noodles to the slow cooker and gently stir to fully submerge them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 5-15 minutes until the noodles are just tender.
  5. Serve Immediately: Once noodles are cooked, serve the ramen hot, optionally adding your favorite toppings such as green onions, sesame seeds, or boiled eggs for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Do not uncover the slow cooker while the vegetables are cooking to maintain moisture and ensure proper cooking.
  • You can substitute tamari with low sodium soy sauce for a similar flavor.
  • Feel free to add toppings like sliced green onions, sesame seeds, chili flakes, or soft boiled eggs to enhance the dish.
  • For a vegetarian version, substitute ground beef and chicken stock with plant-based protein and vegetable broth respectively.
  • Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content and improve healthiness.
