Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb. ground beef

1 C. chopped onion

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 (3-oz.) packages ramen noodles, you won’t be using the season packets so it doesn’t matter what flavor you use.

What to do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

In a large skillet over high heat, sauté beef, onion and garlic for 6-8 minutes, or until browned. Stir in beef broth and bring to a boil.

Add noodles and cook for 3 minutes, or until soft and water is almost gone. Remove from heat and stir in ketchup, mustard, relish, chopped tomato and 1 cup cheese.

Pour into baking dish, sprinkle with the other cup of cheese, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until warmed through and the cheese is nice and golden brown. Garnish with chopped tomatoes, green onions or lettuce
