Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion, celery, and green bell pepper until the beef is fully cooked (approximately 7-10 minutes).

02

Step
2 mins

Sprinkle the quick cooking oats, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, garlic powder, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper over the beef mixture. Gently arrange the thinly wedged cabbage on top.

03

Step
3 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together the tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Season generously with salt and pepper to your liking. Pour this tangy mixture evenly over the cabbage and beef.

04

Step
20 mins

Cover the skillet tightly and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently until the cabbage is tender and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.

For a richer flavor, try using a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
Feel free to experiment with different types of vinegar, such as white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar, for a unique twist.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick of heat.
Serve over rice or mashed potatoes for a complete and hearty meal.

    I love the combination of sweet and sour flavors in this dish!

  • Zack Watsica

    I used a bag of coleslaw mix instead of a whole head of cabbage to save time, and it worked great!

  • Ed Hane

    This is a great way to use up leftover cabbage.

  • Murl Donnelly

    I added a little bit of Worcestershire sauce to the sauce for extra depth of flavor.

  • Foster Mann

    This recipe is so easy to make and my family loves it!

  • Barrett Greenholt

    My cabbage was still a little firm after 20 minutes, so I simmered it for another 10 minutes and it was perfect.
