Enjoy the flavors of traditional cabbage rolls in a simpler, one-skillet casserole that's perfect for a busy weeknight meal. This low-carb version is packed full of tender cabbage, delicious ground beef, and a savory marinara sauce.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat, brown the ground beef while breaking it up with a spatula.
2
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet when the beef is halfway cooked, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.
3
Once the beef is fully cooked and the onion is soft, drain any excess fat from the pan.
4
Add the chopped cabbage, marinara sauce, water, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, paprika, and red pepper flakes if using to the skillet, and stir until the cabbage is well-coated with the sauce.
5
Cover and let the mixture simmer on low-medium heat for 20-25 minutes or until the cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally.
6
Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with a side of rice or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
