Cheap and Easy Ramen Recipe and Other Ramen Ideas

With 5 children and only one employed person in our house, sometimes budgeting leaves us a bit tight in the old finance department.  During those times, I turn to cheap menu ideas, including one of my kid’s favorite things to eat: Ramen. Ramen Noodles are super cheap and really easy to make.  There are many ways to serve Ramen, just give Pinterest a try and you will see the many options that this versatile noodle gives us. Here are a couple ideas that I found:

• Ramen Coleslaw – updating a classic taste and giving it a bit of a crunch!
• Ramen Stirfry – classic Asian flavors and vegetables, soft fluffy Ramen noodles.
• Spicy and Sweet Ramen Noodle Snack Mix – Add broken un-cooked Ramen to a party mix.
  
• Chocolate Covered Ramen – This one is my favorite.  Un-Cooked Ramen dipped in chocolate.

Cheesy Noodles Ramen Recipe

My family’s favorite is what my kids call “Cheesy Noodles.”  It’s a quick and easy meal that feeds a crowd for a low price.  The most expensive thing is the hamburger.  In a pinch, we make it without the hamburger, and it’s still yummy.
