Mom's "Pancit"

Mom made this when were kids. Not sure if this is how she made it or not, but it is my version and it tastes like what I remember. Cheap and fast too.

1 lb lean ground beef (I often use 1 1/2 lbs of regular ground beef for more flavor)
1 medium head cabbage - cored, cut in half, then quartered (about 2x2 size pieces)
4 packages of Oriental flavored ramen noodles

Brown ground beef on stove in large Dutch oven pan just until pink disappears. Salt & pepper to taste. Do not drain drippings. Add cut cabbage to pan (cabbage will shrink as it cooks down) and stir in with ground beef. Add Oriental seasoning from ramen noodles. Mix well. Turn to medium heat and cover stirring occasionally until cabbage is soft.

Just as cabbage turns soft, turn to low heat. Boil water and cook noodles about 1 minute. Drain noodles and add them to cabbage/beef mixture. Stir well so that all are evenly corporated. Serve immediately. May add soy sauce to pan for taste or set at the table for each to add their own.

Makes 6 portions (approx)
