Stuffed low-carb cabbage casserole

 

Ingredients

• 1½ lbs green cabbage, finely shredded
• 5 oz. butter
• 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Tex-Mex seasoning
• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 2½ cups (10 oz.) cheddar cheese, shredded
• 5 oz. (2½ cups) leafy greens or lettuce

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Fry the cabbage in a little more than half of the butter in a large frying pan or a wok over medium-high heat. Fry until soft, but don't let the cabbage turn brown. This can take a little while; roughly 10 minutes.
3. Add spices and vinegar. Stir and continue to fry for a couple of minutes. Set aside on a plate.
4. Melt the rest of the butter in the same pan. Sauté the ground beef and fry on medium-high heat until most of the juices have evaporated. Lower the heat to medium-low.
5. Add cooked cabbage and sauté together with the beef for a minute. Remove from heat and add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Stir ⅔ of the cheese into the cabbage mix and place in a baking dish.
7. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and bake for 15–20 minutes or until the cheese browns nicely.
8. Serve with a green salad.
