This Hearty Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet is a filling, nutritious one-pan meal that combines savory ground beef, tender cabbage, and diced tomatoes. It’s a perfect comfort food for busy weeknights, offering a balance of flavor and ease. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick

Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 pound lean ground beef
  2. 1 medium onion, chopped
  3. 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
  4. 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes with juice
  5. 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  6. 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  7. ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  8. Salt and pepper, to taste
  9. 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Sauté the Onion:
    In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Brown the Ground Beef:
    Add ground beef to the skillet with the onions. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the Mixture:
    Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine flavors.
  • Add Cabbage and Tomatoes:
    Incorporate the chopped cabbage into the skillet. Pour in diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
  • Simmer:
    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer until the cabbage is tender, about 25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust Seasoning and Serve:
    Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, optionally over rice or with crusty bread.

Notes

  • This dish can be served over rice or alongside a slice of hearty bread for a more filling meal.
  • For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes or add a bit of hot sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
