Equipment

  • 1 pot for boiling noodles
  • 1 large skillet for cooking bacon and beef
  • 1 baking dish for assembling and baking casserole

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages instant ramen noodles seasoning packets discarded
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 to 8 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 to 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons yellow or Dijon mustard
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons pickle relish optional
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar, American, or blend
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: diced pickles extra cheese, chopped green onions

Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook ramen noodles for about 3 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove bacon bits and set aside, leaving some fat in the pan.
  • Add ground beef and diced onion to the skillet. Cook until beef is browned and onions are soft, breaking up meat while cooking.
  • Stir in minced garlic and cook for one more minute.
  • Mix in ketchup, mustard, and optional pickle relish. Season with salt and pepper, stirring until combined and heated through.
  • Add cooked ramen noodles to the beef mixture and toss well to coat evenly.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer noodle and beef mixture to a baking dish.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top and scatter cooked bacon bits over the cheese.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with diced pickles or chopped green onions if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Add extra ketchup or Worcestershire sauce for richer flavor.
  • Toss noodles with oil to prevent sticking before mixing.
  • Use cheddar and mozzarella blend for flavor and meltiness.
  • Serve with salad or oven fries for a complete meal.
