Ingredients
  

2 packets of instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)

2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon butter

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to a simmer. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside.

    Make the Cheese Sauce: In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the softened cream cheese and stir until it’s melted and smooth. Gradually add in the milk, stirring continuously to combine.

      Add Seasonings: Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to combine everything into a creamy sauce.

        Incorporate Cheddar: Slowly fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until it melts completely into a smooth, cheesy sauce.

          Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked ramen noodles back into the saucepan with the cheese sauce. Stir well to coat the noodles evenly with the cheesy goodness.

            Serve: Dish out portions onto plates or into bowls. Garnish with chopped green onions and, if desired, a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

              Enjoy: Dive into your cheesy ramen bliss while it’s hot!
