Instructions Slow Cooker Beef Ramen Noodles Recipe :

    1. Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by thinly slicing the onion, carrots, red bell pepper, and mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves, and set these ingredients aside.
    2. Sear the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Sear the beef on all sides until it’s browned, then transfer it to your slow cooker.
