3-Ingredient Mac ‘n’ Cheese Ramen

With a few ingredients and a few minutes, you can have a steaming, comforting bowl of mac ‘n’ cheese ramen. The key ingredient here is evaporated milk, which mimics béchamel, a creamy sauce that is usually used as the base for mac ‘n’ cheese. Try using high-quality, extra-sharp cheddar cheese for a particularly delicious dish.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups water

• One packet instant ramen, any flavor (Top Ramen, Maruchan, or Sapporo Ichiban are good options)

• 2.5 oz evaporated milk (half of a 5 oz can)

• 3 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated

DIRECTIONS

• Bring the water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the noodle cake and cook for 2.5 minutes or until your desired doneness. Drain thoroughly.

• Add the evaporated milk, cheese, and half of the seasoning sachet to the saucepan. Simmer for 1 minute to create a cheese sauce, stirring regularly.

• Pour the ramen into a bowl. Serve immediately.
