Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef preferably 93/7 ground sirloin
- 1 cup matchstick carrots
- 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
- 2 to 3 large scallions roughly chopped, plus more for serving

Instructions
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. If necessary, drain any grease.
- Pour the cooked beef into the basin of a 6 quart slow cooker. Add the carrots, red bell pepper and scallions.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and chicken stock.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours.
- Approximately 30 minutes before serving, add the dry Ramen noodles. Discard the seasoning packets; you only need the noodles.
- When the noodles are tender, serve, topping with additional scallions and some sesame seeds.
Notes
The noodles are added near the end so they stay tender instead of becoming overly soft during the long slow-cooker time.
