1-First Step: Gather all ingredients and prepare them, such as browning the 1 pound of extra lean ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink, then drain excess grease if needed. This step helps enhance the flavor and sets the base for your dish.

2-Second Step: Transfer the cooked beef to a 6-quart slow cooker and add the 1 cup of matchstick carrots, 1 medium sliced red bell pepper, and 2-3 large scallions (reserving some for garnish). These veggies bring crunch and freshness to the mix. For a helpful tip, consider visiting our guide on refreshing limeade recipes if you want to add a citrus twist later.

3-Third Step: Whisk together the 3 cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 cup of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 14.25 ounces of chicken stock or beef broth, then pour this mixture into the slow cooker and stir everything well. This creates the savory broth that makes slow cooker beef ramen so irresistible.

4-Fourth Step: Cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.

5-Fifth Step: About 30 minutes before serving, add the 2 packs of ramen noodles (discarding the seasoning packets) and stir frequently to ensure even cooking.

6-Sixth Step: Once the noodles are tender, serve the dish hot, topped with the reserved scallions and sesame seeds. For the best texture, always add noodles near the end, as shared in various home cooking tips.
