Calories: 415kcal
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 2 Chicken Sausages sliced into coins
- 1 pound Extra Lean Ground Beef
- ¼ cup (66g) Double Concentrated Tomato Paste
- 1 Green Bell Pepper diced
- 12 oz Coleslaw Mix roughly chopped (or 1 head of cabbage)
- 9 ½ oz Ramen (three 90g bundles)
- 2 cups Reserved Water from Ramen
For the Seasoning Blend (or swap for Cajun seasoning)
- 1 Tablespoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon White Pepper
- ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
- ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the ramen.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken sausages and brown both sides, about a minute per side. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Add the beef to the pan and brown one side for 2-3 minutes before breaking apart and fully cooking.
- Add the tomato paste and stir into the cooked beef before adding the bell pepper, coleslaw mix, and seasoning blend to the pan. Stir everything together and continue cooking until the cabbage softens but is still tender crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Use water to deglaze the pan if needed.
- Cook the noodles once adding the veggies to the beef. Cook for 4 minutes. Reserve 2 cups of the cooking liquid before draining the rest.
- Toss the cooked noodles and beef mixture together, using the reserved water to bring it all together. Salt to taste and garnish with parsley and/or chives, if desired.
