💭 faq
When cooking ground beef, make sure to skip the seed oils and use a heat-stable cooking fat that won't go rancid at high temperatures (coconut oil, ghee, tallow, etc.)
Yes. However, make sure to time the addition of the ingredients properly. Ground beef will cook a lot faster than onions or carrots, for example, so make sure to add the meat only after the vegetables have softened.
Cabbage is a very versatile vegetable, and a great to add to with ground beef. It’s definitely the best meat to add to cabbage. These two ingredients together, makes a deliciously healthy, but also budget friendly dish!

I love it! This was what happened, happy accident yet amazing turnout! I went to add the 2nd round of canned tomatoes, it was with chilies (unfortunately it’s for my Grandma and spice is not to her liking)
My attempt to Dr.ing it up I added 1/4 of powdered sugar one can of tomato soup with one can of water. It’s to me tastes perfect!! Mine is definitely more of a stew! I think some rice added to the bowl would go well! For now I fried some bread dough and it’s perfect on this wet rainy day!! Thank you for this simple and very tasty recipe!! Sharing with my cabbage fans!!
