A hearty and comforting cabbage and beef dish, perfect for family dinners.
Equipment
- Slow Cooker 6-quart or larger recommended
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 cups cabbage (chopped) cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 10 ounces Rotel tomatoes and green chiles
- 1.33 cups water
- 2 cubes beef bouillon crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat for a healthier dish.
- In a 6-quart slow cooker, place the chopped cabbage and onion at the bottom. This helps create a base that will steam perfectly.
- Add the cooked ground beef on top of the cabbage and onion, ensuring an even layer for flavor distribution.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes, Rotel tomatoes, water, and crumbled beef bouillon cubes. This combination will provide a rich and savory broth.
- Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients. For added flavor, consider including a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the cabbage is tender. If you’re adding extra vegetables like carrots or bell peppers, throw them in at the beginning for added nutrition.
Notes
For added flavor, consider including a splash of Worcestershire sauce. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
