Ingredients
  

For the Skillet
  • 1 lb Ground beef choose lean for a healthier option
  • 4 cups Cabbage sliced
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 medium Carrots sliced thinly
  • 1 medium Bell pepper any color, red or yellow preferred
  • 1 cup Tomato sauce
For Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper fresh cracked
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
For Garnish (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Parsley fresh chopped
  • 1 cup Grated cheese for topping

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula for even cooking.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
  3. Toss in sliced cabbage, stirring well to combine with the beef mixture. Cook for roughly 5-6 minutes until the cabbage wilts and softens slightly.
  4. Sprinkle in salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. Mix thoroughly to ensure every bite is flavorful.
  5. Pour in beef broth or water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits stuck at the bottom.
  6. Cover the skillet and reduce heat to low. Let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the cabbage is tender and flavors meld beautifully.
  7. Once cooked, give it a gentle stir before serving hot straight from the skillet.
