Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound ground beef

1 cup matchstick carrots

1 red bell pepper, sliced

2-3 scallions, roughly chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 can (14.5 ounce) chicken stock

2 ramen noodle packets (discard seasoning packets)

Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Additional scallions for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Brown and drain the ground beef.

Transfer the beef to a slow cooker.

Add carrots, red bell pepper, and scallions to the cooker.

In a separate bowl, mix together garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and chicken stock.

Pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker and stir to combine.

About 30 minutes before serving, add the dry ramen noodles, ensuring they are well-covered and stir frequently.

Once noodles are tender, serve the dish garnished with scallions and sesame seeds.
