Read some of the other reviews and was a tad nervous to use all 3 packets of ramen seasonings (I used all of the packets anyway and didn't find it to be too "salty"). I used ground turkey as that is what I have been buying lately to help cut back on fatty foods and I think I had a little more than what was called for in this recipe. We didn't have just diced tomatoes, but had diced tomaotes with diced green chilies. As a personal choice I added a dash of cumin, and garlic powder. We skipped putting it into the oven as my hubby doesn't eat cheese and I'm not a velveeta fan, instead I just sprinkled a little extra sharp cheddar cheese on my serving. This turned out terrific! My husband loved it and actually ate the leftovers for dinner tonight instead of asking what was for dinner and making a face when I replied leftovers. This needs more stars! This is a keeper!!!

Excellent. I used Rotel instead of tomatoes, this added saltiness to the recipe so I would suggest reducing a packet of seasonings. Plus only used 2 cups of water which then intensifies the saltiness as well.

I made this tonight but I used cooked, shredded chicken and chicken flavored ramen instead of the beef. It was good but I think next time I will mix some of the Velveeta into the casserole instead of just on top. I found myself trying to mix the melted pieces of velveeta into the noodles on my plate. I just think it would be better mixed in. I also think this is a great base recipe to really add different ingredients to make it different each time. I think you could add a can of cream of chicken or different veggies like mushrooms or green peppers or even corn. All in all it was good and I will make it again. My 3 year old liked it too.

Very easy to make which is a huge plus in my book. I added garlic powder, cumin and goya seasoning to the meat. I also used rotel tomatoes. Was very good and have made this many times now!

I tried this last night and kept in mind what some of the other viewers said about not having much flavor to it. I kept tasting as I was cooking and added garlic powder, salt and pepper. The seasoning packets didn't make it too salty for me at all in fact when I got done baking I still had to add more salt but it was still lacking something. It was good but still missing something in the flavor.

I made exactly as the recipe called for, except I used mexican-style tomatos, with chillies and lime juice, because thats what I had on-hand, and shredded cheese instead of velveeta (not a fan). It was easy to make, once I got the right size pan (the pan I started it in ended up being too small). The taste was good, and I thought it actually improved a little overnight (the leftovers tasted a little better to me). I think next time I will throw some garlic in, because the flavor of the casserole was surprisingly mild even with the 3 seasoning packets. I didn't find it salty, as some other reviewers did, though. Thanks for sharing, we will make this again!

Not a great dinner recipe. Missing something, not much flavor.

My husband and I thought this recipe was a bit bland for us. Perhaps I will add garlic and pepper next time as well. Thank you.

Very tasty but a little salty. I'd omit one seasoning packet next time. I added garlic and habanero pepper and substituted sharp cheddar cheese for the Velveeta.

I made this for my DD and family when she was laid up. Everyone said it was a tasty way to use ramen noodles. Thanks.

Needed something quick to make for dinner. This sounded interesting so wanted to give it a try. I followed the recipe as written other then I used cheddar cheese instead of velveeta as that is all I had. I enjoyed it but we thought that it needed a lot more seasoning. Hubby added a lot of pepper but he still thought it was missing something. I think maybe I would add two cans of tomatoes and maybe a bit less water. I thought with the seasoning packets it would be enough seasoning but it wasn't.

What a great way to cook with Ramen! I used Rotel for the tomatoes and threw in some garlic with the beef. I love the way you cook it all in one pan on the stove. I wasn't sure how big a pan was needed so I used a 12" skillet and it was a little tough to stir without spilling Next time I might break out my dutch oven. I also wanted to mention it fit perfectly in a 2 quart oval casserole dish. I drained the beef to cut out the fat but did not drain the rotel since there wasn't much juice in the can and cut the water to 2 3/4 cup.
*Update - I made this again today and this time only used 2 noodle packages since that was all I had and it was a perfect smaller portion for us. Also used kraft singles for the cheese and added some chili powder to the meat.

I've made this a couple of times now and we love it. It's super simple to put together and we always have the ingredients floating around the house. I do use shredded cheese instead of Velveeta because of the expense and double the ramen noodles & tomatoes to stretch it out. Just remember to add a cup of water for each extra ramen package you add.

FANTASTIC! Really quick, easy, inexpensive and tasty! Used oriental ramen (only used 1 seasoning pack and it still turned out great), added garlic powder, used diced tomatoes and green chilis - only used 2.5 cups water and topped with cheddar. GREAT meal! I even used Morningstar Farms meal starter and it was still great! Thanks!

Wow, I was amazed with how tasty this was! So simple and CHEAP too. I used rotel tomatoes instead of the plain old diced tomatoes and liked the flavor and little bit of zip that it added. I cut back on the water since my rotel looked pretty liquid-y. It worked out perfect! I used regular shredded cheddar cheese instead of the velveeta just because I alrady had the shredded cheddar, but would love to try it with velveeta. I've been trying to find tasty and economical recipes and I definitely found one with this. Thanks for the keeper!
