Yea, I know Ramen isn't that good for you... but it sure is good :-)
I figure if we are eating right MOST of the time
that an occasional fall from the pedestal won't hurt...
To feed 6 to 8 of us I use 4 packs of Ramen noodles and I cook it in half the water... then I add whatever I want ... in this case, for Mexican Ramen I add cooked chicken pieces (we like thighs), diced tomatoes, black beans, freeze dried bell peppers, corn and taco seasoning...
4 packs of Chicken Flavored Ramen if using chicken meat...
use the Beef Flavored if using ground beef...
cook the noodles in 4 cups of water. You will make up the other 4 cups in the added ingredients.
We make it more like a dish rather than a soup, but you can add more liquid and do a soup if you prefer...
1 pound of chicken pieces or ground beef...
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn
1 can black beans
1/2 cup freeze dried bell peppers or 1 cup fresh chopped (optional)
I added 1 pint home canned broth (beef or chicken depending on your meat)
Taco Seasoning to taste
Serve with Cornbread and/or Tortilla Chips, Salsa, Salad...
YUM!!!
This is one of those meals that can be for two or 20...
also, what you add will make it a different meal.
Some Italian Sausage and Veggies and Italian Seasoning and you have Italian...
Throw in Bean Sprouts, Water Chestnuts, Broccoli, and Soy Sauce
and you have Oriental...
Once in a while, what's it gonna hurt :-)
