Main Ingredients:
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish:
- Chopped chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Ramen Noodles: Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- Make Cheese Sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until sauce thickens, about 4–5 minutes.
- Add Cheese and Seasonings: Remove from heat and stir in cheddar, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add cooked ramen noodles to the cheese sauce and stir to coat evenly.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- For extra texture, top with toasted breadcrumbs and broil for 2–3 minutes until golden.
- Swap cheddar with pepper jack for a spicy kick.
