Ingredients
Scale
Ramen Noodles:
- 2 packets of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
Cheese Sauce:
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Garnish:
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Cheese Sauce: In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the softened cream cheese and stir until it’s melted and smooth. Gradually add in the milk, stirring continuously to combine.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to combine everything into a creamy sauce.
- Incorporate Cheddar: Slowly fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts completely into a smooth, cheesy sauce.
- Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked ramen noodles back into the saucepan with the cheese sauce. Stir well to coat the noodles evenly with the cheesy goodness.
- Serve: Dish out portions onto plates or into bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and, if desired, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
- Enjoy: Dive into your cheesy ramen bliss while it’s hot!
