Super easy and cheap, this meal is great for anyone trying to eat on a budget, and sometimes just when the craving hits! I grew up eating these as my parents made them a lot when they were newly married and it just stuck. Probably one of the first meals I learned to make on my own!

Steps:
I like to make chicken flavored Ramen noodles and add sliced cooked carrots in to it. I buy a can of Libby's sliced carrots and just add some to the bottom of the bowl of noodles.
Does everyone like long stringy Ramen noodles? I don't, so I pulverize them in a plastic baggy by smushing them with a glass-pint canning jar filled with whatever. After cooking, they are very easy to eat with a spoon.
We love canned chicken noodle soup but always seem to have more broth than noodles. My husband got the idea to add ramen noodles to the soup and it satisfies the desire for more noodles and makes a nice lunch.
Dress up ramen noodle soup in a healthy, delicious way! Place ramen noodle soup in a bowl, just cover with water, and add your favorite greens (I especially love mustard greens).
Cook noodles then stir fry with fresh green beans and carrots. Add 1/2 flavor packet for low salt. Now add one large Tbsp. peanut butter and some hot sauce to taste.
Ramen noodles make a great replacement for spaghetti, if you have extra sauce to use up. Just fix according to package directions and drain (don't use seasoning packet).
This recipe can be made in twenty minutes and can be varied nicely.
I am looking for the recipe from Campbell's Quick And Easy cookbook using Top Ramen and beef plus some other ingredients. Thanks!

Here is one good recipe using beef and ramen. Our family likes it very well, but they'd eat broccoli every meal I think.
It's from Frugal Family Recipes.
Beef Lo Mein
Brown 8 oz. of ground beef and 1 chopped onion in a large skillet. Drain. Add 2 and a half cups of water; bring to a boil. Crumble in noodles from 2 3-oz bags of Ramen noodles and add seasoning packets and 2 cups of thawed frozen broccoli florets. Simmer, covered, 3 minutes; uncover and simmer 3 minutes more or until liquid evaporates and noodles are tender. Serves 4. Enjoy.

I have a recipe very similar that takes hamburger. I would think you could just use this one and throw in some browned ground beef.
From the Campbell's Quick N Easy cookbook:
Skillet Beef and Noodles
2 packages Ramen
1 lb ground beef 1 onion, chopped
1 can tomato soup
1/2 can water
Cook the noodles according to package directions. Add seasoning packets. Drain off most of the liquid.
Cook beef and onion until done, drain grease. Stir in soup, water, mustard, Worchestersire, S&P. Simmer on low and add noodles and toss. Heat through.
I don't have a recipe from there but i have one of my own that takes potatoes,corn, ground beef, an ramen noodle. Along with various spices n butter. Extra flavor add mushrooms
I wanted a fancy Chinese meal cheap so I created it!
My husband and I make "must-go" ramen frequently. Little bits of this and that get tossed into the water to cook and once everything is tender, we stir in the noodles and flavor packet.
This is how I've been eating my ramen since I was a little girl.
Ramen noodles and their flavor packets can combine with cheese, sour cream, chilies, olives and pimientos to make an inexpensive casserole.
