Nichole's Ground Beef with Ramen Noodle Rice

Nichole's Ground Beef with Ramen Noodle Rice

Start by browning 1 lb. ground beef with a 1/4 c. diced onion and seasonings of your choice in a medium size skillet. Drain fat. Set aside.

In a small saucepan combine melt 2 Tblsp. butter. Add in 1 cup uncooked long grain rice, 1 ramen noodle beef seasoning packet* and 2 cups beef stock. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting lid. Turn off heat and allow to sit until all liquid is absorbed.

Combine cooked beef with rice. Stir to combine. Serve warm with slices of bread and butter.

It wasn't the fanciest meal but hey, it was cheap, it filled us up and it used what I had on hand.

*Hubby loves ramen noodles but usually only mixes one seasoning packet with 2 bags of the noodles so I am forever having stray seasoning packets left in the pantry. So this is a good way to use it up.
