This cabbage and ground beef skillet is a hearty one-pan meal made with simple ingredients and bold flavor—perfect for weeknight dinners or cozy comfort food cravings.
Ingredients
1 small cabbage, chopped
1 lb ground beef
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon bouillon powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons oil
Instructions
Heat oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add chopped onions and garlic; sauté until fragrant (about 2–3 minutes).
Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in chopped cabbage and cook for 5 minutes, until it begins to soften.
Add diced tomatoes, bouillon powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender and flavors meld.
Serve hot as-is, or with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
Notes
Use ground turkey or plant-based meat for a lighter or vegetarian twist.
Add bell peppers or carrots for extra color and nutrition.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3–4 days and reheat beautifully.
