A quick and flavorful meal featuring ground beef and cabbage, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small head of green cabbage, chopped (about 4 cups)
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup beef broth (or water)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

- Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a heartier dish, add cooked rice or quinoa to the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking.
