Equipment

Ingredients

2 packages ramen noodles all but 1 flavor packet discarded
1 pound lean ground beef
1 ½ cups sliced bell peppers about 1 ½ medium bell peppers
1 ½ cups matchstick carrots
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
½ cup hoisin sauce
⅓ cup brown sugar
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic about 3-4 cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1-2 teaspoons sriracha or other chili sauce. Additional for garnish if desires

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 pound lean ground beef. Cook and crumble until no pink remains.
Remove the skillet from the heat, drain off the grease, and add the cooked beef to the insert of a 4-6 quart crockpot. Add 1 ½ cups sliced bell peppers and 1 ½ cups matchstick carrots.
Combine 3 cups low-sodium beef broth, ½ cup hoisin sauce, ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, ⅓ cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, one ramen seasoning packet, 1-2 teaspoons sriracha, and 3 tablespoons cornstarch in a medium bowl, then pour over the top of the vegetables and beef.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 1-2 hours, or on LOW for 3-4 hours.
Add 2 packages ramen noodles to the slow cooker about 10-15 minutes before serving. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes, until the noodles are cooked to your preference. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

Leftover and Freezer Meal Instructions

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezer Meal: Add the veggies, sauce, and browned ground beef to a large freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then add to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for about 1 hour, until heated through and bubbling. Nestle the ramen noodles into the slow cooker and cook as directed in step 5.
