Air Fryer Ramen Casserole

The third and last recipe in this casserole series is worthy of being called the grand finale…air fryer ramen. Some may call it crazy. Some may call it obscene, or even uncalled-for. But nobody can call it anything less than delicious.

Nowadays, there is a trend of coming up with the newest and best ways to customize basic ramen noodles: egg, pork belly, and so on. These additions make a full meal out of a simple bowl of noodles. The variations run together now, the market flooded with the same ideas. That’s why I think this chicken ramen casserole is the ultimate air fryer ramen customization. It combines the comfort of a casserole with the convenience of packet noodles, and provides the novelty of having something brand new to boot. I can promise you that none of your friends have tried this out before.

When this concoction comes out of the air fryer, the bacon and cheese greets you first: golden brown and bubbling, hinting at major awesome under the surface. When you dig in, it’s reminiscent of macaroni and cheese or alfredo as far as the creamy air fryer ramen noodle goodness. Then the savory kick that the ramen seasoning combined with cream of bacon soup flavors the chicken and noodles even more than either could alone. Factoring in the topping with its generous layer of cheese and crispy bacon bits, you wind up with a dish that knocks it out of the park.

Notes

All air fryers cook at different speeds.  These recipes are meant to be a general guide.  Cooking times depend on various factors including thickness, cut, and type of meat used.  I use an Instant Pot Vortex Plus shelf air fryer.  If you’re using something different, especially a bucket type air fryer, I advise keeping an eye on food so it doesn’t under, or overcook.
