Hamburger Ramen Noodle Skillet (+Video)
Ramen Noodle Skillet Supper uses affordable ramen noodles with ground beef and veggies to create the most flavorful and simple stir fry!
A FAMILY FAVORITE DINNER
This ramen noodle skillet meal is something just a bit different than my usual weeknight meals. It’s super simple to make and you only need one pan and five ingredients. Plus, you get lots of good, flavorful veggies in there too! It also reheats well if you have leftovers.
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS EASY ONE PAN MEAL:
- For those of you with salt or sodium sensitivities, you can replace the beef packets and water in this recipe with low sodium beef broth.
- Ground turkey can be substituted for the ground beef. Or just leave the meat out entirely if you prefer.
- Try making this with other flavors of ramen noodles like chicken, soy sauce or vegetable ramen.
- This really is a whole meal in one so it doesn’t really need a side dish. However, if you’d like, try serving it with a homemade Asian Milk Bread.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- ground beef
- water
- beef-flavor ramen noodles (with seasoning packets)
- stir fry sauce
- frozen stir fry vegetables
Keep the packets that are included with the ramen noodles. You’ll need those in a bit.
HOW TO MAKE HAMBURGER RAMEN NOODLE SKILLET:
Brown beef in a large skillet over medium heat; drain grease.
Add water. Stir in beef flavor seasoning packet, stir fry sauce in sauce and frozen stir-fry vegetables. Stir and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Then break up the ramen noodles and add them to the skillet. Stir well.
Then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 8 minutes, until sauce is thickened and noodles are tender.

I love trying new recipes, and so do my 3 daughters. On Tuesdays I get together with my 2 daughters that live nearby, and we Skpye my daughter that lives in Idaho, and we all cook a new recipe together. It's so much fun and We're teaching my 14 year old how to cook also. We are always looking for something new to cook and I'd love to win this book. My email is steph32764@hotmail.com. Thank You.

I would love to win this cookbook. Besides being from Gooseberry Patch who has awesome recipes, cooking on the stove during the summer months and avoiding the oven is a plus. Also, one of my "go-to" recipes, One-Pot Spaghetti, is from Gooseberry Patch! And I liked Gooseberry Patch on Facebook!

I love Gooseberry Patch and follow them on FB twitter & Pintrest. I'd love to win this!!! I'm in a huge cooking rut right now and would love to break it in time for school stating in 2 weeks.
The noodles dish is fantastic, just the right one for me. Easy, quick and satisfy. I like very much the “key point” you have mentioned in this post. “Meals that don't require a bunch of ingredients or that make a bunch of dishes to wash later.” This is what I am looking for… 🙂
I could use this cookbook to find new dinner ideas. Now that I'm a new Mom I need some new inspiration.
Thank you for a chance to win. I have a bookcase full of recipe books in my kitchen, but love each and every one and especially love to try new recipes. I think this new cookbook would be a 'must-have' as many a time I need a '30 min or less' recipe. These seem a perfect fit!!
I collect cookbooks, and have used recipes from all of them at some time over the years. A few are my main go to books, and yours look like it would be a definite go to. I just learned of your line of books, and would like to start with this one and go on to collect your entire collections, as the more I research them, I think you all are wonderful. My collection is to be passed on to my daughter-in-laws and grandchildren some day, so we can keep the good recipes alive. My name is Francene Kaufman, and I view your books on Facebook.
I would love to win the cookbook because I cook all the time, love new recipes, and it's my birthday!
