Creamy Ramen Noodles

ms_bold's Note:

A really special friend shared this recipe with me several years ago. It was his trick for dressing up those inexpensive noodles for his kids, and I think it is very good. This is great on its own as a quick meal, but can be an easy side for many dishes. We prefer the chicken or beef flavored noodles for this.

This is especially good to break up a slice of American cheese and melt it in giving the ramen a creamy cheese sauce!

Aw. This brings back memories. My grandma used to make this for me (without the milk, just the butter) growing up. I think I have to go make this now.
