Ramen & Cheese

Quick an easy baby! One thing you may notice after a while is that I LOVE Cheese. I put it on tons of stuff, but you don't have to if you don't want to. It's not required. I think perhaps I make up for some of the people in my family who don't like cheese. ( what's that all about?) So here goes, one of my favorites and a great standby for those days when nothing else seems to be appealing.

Ingredients:

1 Pkg Ramen Noodles ( chicken flavor recommended)
3 Slices American cheese ( velveeta slices are best, but any sliced cheese will do)
2 cups water


Directions:

Boil the water... D'oh!! toss in the noodles (without the flavor packet)and cook to your desired consistency. I like them a little firm, so they don't fall apart on the fork.

While the noodles are cooking unwrap your cheese slices and put 1 in the bottom of the bowl. Set the other 2 near your work place because you want to use the heat from the noodles to melt the cheese. (That's the key to the speed here. )

When the noodles are ready, drain off most of the water, keep enough to cover that slice of cheese in the bowl. (probably 2 tablespoons) Now dump the noodles into the bowl, and add a slice of cheese in the middle and on top of the noodles.

Open the flavor packet that came with the noodles and sprinkle a little of the powder on top of your cheese/noodle pile. Now stir the noodles to spread the cheese evenly.

EAT IT!!

After thoughts...

You could use cheez whiz in a pinch, and it would probably work pretty good.

I like to eat this with a glass of orange juice and a couple of crackers w/ peanut butter.

Anyone who has been a bachelor for any amount of time, has found ways to improve upon Ramen. Lets face it. When you're a bachelor, food is the last place you spend your money. Usually.

Try adding a can of cream of mushroom soup to a package of chicken ramen. It is heaven on a cold, rainy day.
