Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 5 cups green cabbage, shredded or chopped
- 1/4 cup low-carb taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp dry minced onion
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef and cook until browned evenly, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned, drain off any excess fat to keep the dish lean.
- Add Cabbage and Seasoning: Stir in the shredded cabbage, low-carb taco seasoning, dry minced onion, and water into the skillet with the beef. Mix everything well to combine the flavors.
- Cook the Cabbage: Continue cooking and stirring the mixture until the cabbage becomes crisp-tender, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. This step ensures the cabbage softens just enough while retaining some crunch.
- Melt the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef and cabbage mixture. Cover the skillet and let it sit for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts thoroughly into the dish.
- Serve: Once the cheese is melted and gooey, serve the taco cabbage skillet warm and enjoy the hearty low-carb meal.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Use lean ground beef to keep the dish healthier and reduce excess grease.
- Substitute cheddar cheese with pepper jack or mozzarella for different flavor profiles.
- This recipe is great for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To make it keto-friendly, ensure the taco seasoning is low-carb and sugar-free.
