Simple Cabbage and Ground Beef Skillet

Cook Notes
Meat Options: You can substitute ground turkey or ground pork for the ground beef if preferred.
Cabbage Tip: Make sure to chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces so it cooks evenly and quickly.
Tomato Substitute: If you don’t have diced tomatoes, you can use crushed tomatoes or even tomato sauce for a slightly different texture.
Variations
1. Cheesy Cabbage and Beef Skillet
Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top during the last few minutes of cooking, covering the skillet until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

2. Spicy Cabbage and Beef Skillet
Increase the red pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon or add 1 diced jalapeño for extra heat.

3. Low-Carb Cabbage and Beef Skillet
For a lower carb version, omit the diced tomatoes and add a splash of beef broth for moisture.

Serving Suggestions
Rice or Cauliflower Rice: Serve over steamed white rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Crusty Bread: Pair with crusty bread to soak up the juices.
Side Salad: Add a simple green salad on the side for a fresh contrast.
