Today's recipe is Oregon Trail Ramen. I can't quite figure out why it's called that; the only relation I found is that the guy who submitted it goes to school in Oregon. I chose this one because of the name, and because I had chili. There were more interesting ones such as Chili Frito Pie Ramen Style, Prison Beef and Chili Ramen, and Mexican Chili-Cheese Ramen, but they all required ingredients I didn't have. Maybe I'll try those in the future.
You start by cooking the Ramen. Two minutes is the standard cooking time for all Ramen. While the Ramen is cooking, microwave your can of chili for 2-3 minutes.
Then you drain it. When I cook Ramen, I normally drain it, then pour the flavor packet over the moist noodles.
Finally, you simply combine the two and mix them together. The recipe didn't mention in adding the flavor packet, so I didn't. The result is what you see below.
This came out pretty good. You can still taste the Ramen, but the chili definitely dominates. The noodles make for good filler. This would definitely be good with some cheese mixed in there, which is what a lot of the recipes I mentioned above include.
I plan to do quite a few of these recipes, and put them here on Will and Beyond, so I should rate them all. My scale will be from 1-10, where 1 is god-awful, 5 is regular ramen, and 10 is spectacular.

Godspeed.
