Common Questions
- → Can I use a different meat?
Yes, ground chicken, turkey, or beef work well and offer lighter or deeper flavors to the dish.

- → Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely. Mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers can be sautéed and layered in for more nutrition.

Instant ramen noodles work best; cook them briefly so they hold up during baking.
