Storage and Reheating Tips

This Cabbage and Ground Beef dish makes excellent leftovers and can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat or microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Tips for the Best Cabbage and Ground Beef

  • Use fresh cabbage: Fresh green cabbage is ideal for this dish because it cooks quickly and has a nice crunch. Make sure to chop it into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  • Don’t overcook the cabbage: You want the cabbage to be tender but still have a bit of texture. Overcooked cabbage can become too soft and lose its structure.
  • Add a splash of vinegar: If you like a bit of tang, a splash of apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar at the end of cooking adds brightness to the dish.

Variations and Add-Ons

  • Spicy twist: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some chopped jalapeños to give the dish a bit of heat.
  • Low-carb casserole: To make this dish more like a casserole, add grated cheese on top and pop it under the broiler for a few minutes until bubbly and golden.
  • Vegetable boost: Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms. Cook them along with the onion for more flavor and texture.
  • Swap the meat: You can use ground turkey, chicken, or pork in place of ground beef if you prefer a lighter version.
