Cheesy Ramen Noodles

This is very popular with college students, and anyone on a tight budget. May be the cheapest comfort food on the planet!



I made this yesterday, and it was actually good. I used grated cheddar, butter, frozen veggies, ham, milk and hot sauce. I made just enough for the 2 of us by using 2 bags of noodles with only one seasoning packet.



2 cups water

1 package chicken ramen noodles

1 slice American cheese or equivalent of your favorite cheese

or use cheese dip, Velveeta or cheese whiz

A little milk or sour cream for creaminess optional



Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add Ramen noodles and cook 2 minutes until tender.

Pour out water, then stir in seasoning packet and cheese to serve. If you are concerned

about too much salt use only half the packet, and you still get the chicken flavor. You

need to add the milk if the consistency is too thick.



Use your imagination!



You can add an egg to the boiling water to get your protein. Or add ham chunks, cooked crumbled bacon or ground sausage. Some folks like cut up hot dogs.



You can add butter, hot sauce, frozen veggies or whatever you like. Eat it with Ritz

or saltine crackers, or crush the crackers and pour over. You can also use these noodles in a stir fry.
