Way Off Topic: Cheesy Bacon Ramen! YUM!

So the other night I was sitting here trying to figure out what to blog about when my stomach growled angrily at me for not feeding it for 2/3rds of the day. I gave in and decided to go see what was in the fridge. Now, even though we had gone shopping the day before, there wasn't really any kind of lunch-type foods I could munch on until I decided to make dinner other than ramen...but that had been done before.

Old.

Blah.

Then I saw the bacon in the fridge...and then the cheese and my mouth started watering and I just DID IT! And I thought I would share my delicious, oh-so-not healthy lunch (:

Ingredients:
Ramen
Delicious delicious bacon
Cheese
One egg
Salt/Pepper to taste
Love <3

I took a few strips of bacon and cut it up into little pieces and started to render the fat off in the skillet while I boiled salted water and cooked my ramen. By the way, if you don't have the brick style ramen and have a cup style like me, Just take a sharp knife (be careful)_and cut it open from the bottom to the top and it should pop right out.


Cook the ramen in boiling water for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes until it is all loose from its original shape. Then strain that bad baby and drop it into some icy cold water and let it chill.

When your bacon becomes nice and brown and sizzling, strain out the cold water from your noodles and then plop that ramen right down into the hot pan and bacon grease. 

Kudos to Gramma for the awesome tongs!

Let this cook for a bit until the bacon is thoroughly tossed into your noodles. At this point, you can also add some Worcestershire sauce or some soy sauce for that extra umami flavor. Or you can look at your begging dog and get all giddy by how cute they look.

Just one morsel, please!

Then you can get back to cooking and drop an egg onto the side and scramble it a bit and then toss it in. You know, for when you REALLY want to get fancy.

Mix it all up and serve!


When its all dished out you can top it with some nice cheese and let it melt a bit before digging in. 



It was damn delicious! If you try it...enjoy!

Stay strong and love on!
