Ingredients

Scale

1 pack instant ramen (discard seasoning)

½ lb ground beef

1 tbsp taco seasoning

1 tbsp oil

4 slices of thick bread (sourdough or Texas toast work best)

4 slices cheddar cheese

2 tbsp butter, softened

Optional: sliced jalapeños, chopped cilantro, hot sauce

Instructions

Cook ramen: Boil noodles until just tender, drain, and set aside.

Brown the beef: In a skillet, cook ground beef with taco seasoning until fully browned. Set aside.

Crisp the noodles: In the same pan, add a bit of oil and lightly fry the noodles until they’re golden and slightly crispy.

Assemble the sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side, layer cheese, taco beef, crispy ramen, more cheese, then top with another slice of bread.

Grill it up: In a skillet over medium heat, grill sandwiches until bread is golden and cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve: Slice and enjoy with your favorite hot sauce or taco toppings.
