Noodles & Pasta

This cheesy Buldak ramen casserole tames the heat—a little—with the addition of creamy mozzarella and American cheese. It's a quick and easy bake.

3 (4.5 ounce) packages very spicy korean ramen, such as buldak® ramen, reserve seasoning packets, discard sauce packet
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups shredded creamy mozzarella cheese, divided
6 slices american cheese, such as kraft®
chili crisp, green onions, soft boiled eggs, furikake, for garnish (optional)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Combine uncooked ramen, 3 seasoning packets, and 3 cups water in an 8x10-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle evenly with half the mozzarella cheese; top with American cheese slices. Cover with foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Using tongs, gently toss ramen until liquid and cheese are combined.
Add remaining mozzarella on top; place back into the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
Garnish with green onions, chili crisp, furikake and soft boiled eggs if desired. Serve immediately.
