Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 bell pepper (diced)
- 1 small yellow onion (diced)
- 1 medium head of cabbage (chopped & cored)
- 1 (14oz) can diced tomatoes
- 2 tsp creole seasoning (we use Tony Chachere's) *see notes
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a large skillet (with a lid) that will eventually hold all of the ingredients, brown the ground beef over medium heat. I prefer to leave some of the grease, but if your beef has a high fat content remove any unwanted excess.
- Add the diced bell pepper and onion to the pan and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped cabbage, can of tomatoes, and all of the seasoning. Place the lid on and cook on LOW heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cabbage is cooked to your liking, turn the burner off and evenly sprinkle the cheese over top. Place the lid back on for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Notes
- *You can use any creole seasoning for this recipe just keep in mind that some of them are extra spicy and some are on the salty side. About 2 tsp of Tony Chachere's is perfect for this recipe, but use less of any other brand and then do a taste test before adding more.
- Want to make the meal go further for your hungry family? Mix in some cooked white or brown rice.
- You can buy pre-diced bell peppers and onions in the produce department of some grocery stores. A big time saver on busy weeknights!
