    It couldn’t be easier!  Start by cooking the ground beef and onion.  Drain off any fat, add garlic and cook another minute.  Then add canned diced tomatoes, tomato soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, bay leaf and chopped cabbage.

    Stir it all together, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes (or until the cabbage is tender).

    You’ll never miss the extra carbs in this easy and satisfying one-pot dinner… it’s cabbage rolls without all the work!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 pounds lean ground beef
    • 1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 3 cups chopped)
    • 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
    • 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
    • 1 (10-3/4-ounce) can condensed tomato soup
    • 1/4 cup beef broth
    • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 1 head cabbage (2–1/2 pounds), cored and chopped into about 2-inch pieces
    • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish (if desired)

    Instructions

    1. Cook beef and onion in a dutch oven or soup pot over medium high heat, crumbling beef as it cooks until beef is browned and no longer pink (about 7-8 minutes).  Drain off grease.
    2. Add garlic and cook an additional minute, stirring frequently.  Add diced tomatoes with juices, tomato soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper and bay leaf.  Stir to combine.
    3. Add chopped cabbage and stir to combine.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to maintain a simmer.

      This was sooo good. Added a splash of sriracha because we like it and followed the recipe to a “T” otherwise. Excellent! Thanks!

      Made this on Saturday and it was excellent. I did make one minor change. I didn’t have a can of tomato soup but I did have homemade tomato & roasted red pepper soup in the freezer so used that. I also added a dash of cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit. The taste was so good my husband and son finished it off with no leftovers. Thanks for the recipe.
