# Ingredients:
→ Protein
01 -
450 g lean ground beef
→ Vegetables
02 -
400 g green cabbage, shredded
→ Seasonings
03 -
15 g low carb taco seasoning blend
04 -
5 g dry minced onion
→ Liquids
05 -
60 ml water
→ Dairy
06 -
115 g shredded cheddar cheese
# Steps:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a sturdy spoon. Cook, stirring every two minutes, until no pink remains and the meat is crumbly. Drain excess fat to avoid greasiness.
02 -
Sprinkle dry minced onion and taco seasoning evenly over the beef. Add shredded cabbage and pour in the water. Stir to combine, then reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring gently every 2 to 3 minutes until cabbage is crisp-tender yet still slightly firm.
03 -
Evenly distribute shredded cheddar over the skillet mixture. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, lower heat to low, and cook undisturbed for 5 to 10 minutes until cheese is fully melted and bubbling. Check the center to ensure even melting.
04 -
Remove from heat and portion onto plates. Serve hot to enjoy the melty cheese and savory beef with the crisp-tender cabbage.
# Notes:
01 -
Use freshly shredded cheese for optimal melting and flavor. Avoid overcooking cabbage to maintain a pleasant texture. A heavy-bottomed skillet ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
