Ranch Style Ramen

Pierre Dance's Note:

This was an experiment that worked right the first time. I'm still amazed.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• 1 (3 ounce) package ramen noodles (Throw away the 'flavor pack',92-97% Sodium, you have enough SODIUM in your life without adding this!)
• ½ cup ranch dressing (Try Mirj's Homemade Ranch Dressing it's great)
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese , grated (Jalapeno Jack works well too)

Directions:

1. Put a large sauce pan, half full of water on to boil.
2. Set a medium sized stainless mixing bowl on the sauce pan (double boiler).
3. In a small pan cook the Ramen, Drain.
4. Place the noodles in the s/s bowl.
5. mix in the Dressing and Cheese.
6. Stir continuously.
7. ***WARNING*** BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL REGARDING THE STEAM!
8. WEAR A COOKING MITT TO HOLD THE MIXING BOWL!
9. When the cheese is throughly melted, serve immediately.
10. Goes well with a garden salad or coleslaw, fresh bread sticks, and a nice Chianti.

My husband heard this and was sold. He made it immediately without waiting for a double boiler. Thank goodness for nonstick. I actually liked it and I didn't think I would. It is really rich. If you like ranch doritos, this is for you.

I'm rating this on behalf of my three year-old daughter, who really enjoyed the combination of noodles, cheese, and her favorite, ranch dressing. I tasted it and thought it was way too much ranch, but then again I'm not the huge ranch lover that she is. ;) I have a feeling we'll be making "noodles and ranch dip", as she called it, many times when in need of a quick lunch for her. Thanks for sharing!

It isn't bad, very rich, It tastes just like you would think it would cheesy and ranchy. I think next time I will stick to my ramen noodles and squeeze cheese though, its easier to get the cheese smooth and melted and I'm not sure I like all the ranch dressing with the noodles.
