# What You'll Need:
→ Meat
01 -
1 lb lean ground beef
→ Vegetables
02 -
½ medium onion, chopped
03 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
04 -
3 cups chopped cabbage
→ Canned Goods
05 -
15 oz canned diced tomatoes, no salt added if possible
06 -
8 oz canned tomato sauce
→ Seasonings
07 -
2 tsp Italian seasoning
08 -
2 tsp salt, adjust to taste
→ Dairy
09 -
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
→ Garnish
10 -
Minced parsley
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and mostly cooked through, allowing fat to render.
02 -
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet halfway through cooking the beef. Continue cooking until beef is fully browned and onions are soft and fragrant.
03 -
Stir in chopped cabbage, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, and salt. Mix thoroughly to coat the cabbage evenly. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until cabbage softens yet retains slight crunch.
04 -
Remove skillet from heat and evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar over the surface. Let stand uncovered for 5 minutes to allow residual heat to melt the cheese.
05 -
Top with minced parsley for freshness and visual appeal. Serve warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Brown ground beef thoroughly to enhance flavor and texture.
02 -
Covering the skillet during cabbage cooking traps steam for even softening.
03 -
Letting cheese melt off heat prevents it from becoming greasy or rubbery.
04 -
Store leftovers refrigerated up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
