Ingredients

  • The Base:
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 3 cups cabbage, shredded
  • The Flavor:
  • 1 or 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa (Tammy uses Herdez brand)
  • The Finish:
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • For Serving: Cornbread or Tortilla Chips

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain off the excess grease.
  2. Season: Add the salsa and taco seasoning to the beef. Stir well to ensure the meat is evenly coated with the spices and salsa.
  3. Steam the Cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and mix it in with the beef.
  4. Simmer: Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Turn your burner to the lowest setting and let it cook for 20 minutes. This allows the cabbage to become tender while soaking up all that taco flavor.
  5. The Cheesy Finish: Remove the lid and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it's melted and creamy.
  6. Serve: Serve it up immediately while it's hot! It's delicious on its own, but also goes great with a side of cornbread or some crunchy tortilla chips.

Notes

Tammy’s Tip: This is such a versatile recipe! If you like things a little spicier, you can use a "hot" salsa or add a few extra red pepper flakes when you add the taco seasoning.
