Ingredients:
- 1 small cabbage, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (15 oz) chopped tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon powdered broth seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt, to taste
Preparation:
Start by browning the minced meat in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break it into crumbles as it cooks. Once browned, push the meat to one side of the pan.
In the same pan, sauté the onions and garlic with a drizzle of oil until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Combine the meat, onions, and garlic, mixing well.
Next, add the chopped tomatoes (with their juices) and seasonings: broth powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and salt. Stir everything together and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Finally, add the chopped cabbage to the pan, stirring it into the meat and tomato mixture. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are fully combined.
Serve hot and enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this comforting dish. Pair it with crusty bread or steamed rice for a complete meal!
Tips:
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference—add more cayenne for heat or extra paprika for smokiness.
- For a lighter version, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
- Leftovers reheat beautifully, making this recipe perfect for meal prep.
