Easy Mexican Ramen

I really just fake everything I make, so I make up the measurements as I go and just add things till it looks/tastes good. Every meal is a new experience.

BTW - Lauren gobbled this up!

4 packs of Ramen (any flavor, but the new Picante ones are best)
1 lb ground beef
Some canned, sliced jalapenos (how hot do you like it?)
Frozen peas (you like peas?)
Packet of taco seasoning
Sour cream
Grated cheese (any kind, but we do Colby Jack)

- Brown the ground beef and add the taco seasoning according to the packet.
- Dice the jalapenos.
- Boil 4 cups of water (yes, half that is asked for on the Ramen packets) with the seasoning packets already in the water.
- Cook the noodles for about 4 minutes and strain them. The noodles should be kind of brownish from soaking up the seasoning.
- Add the ground beef, jalapenos, and peas to the noodles. You can do this removed from heat as the hot noodles will cook the peas.
- Serve the noodles and each person can mix in their own sour cream and grated cheese.
