Рецепт Cabbage Patch Stew
You may have noticed that I've been cooking with cabbage a lot lately. It's a phase I go through when I'm dieting. Usually starting when I make a big pot of Crock Pot Low Calorie Vegetable Soup. Then after the soup is made, I end up needing other alternatives for the rest of the head of cabbage.
This time around, I haven't gotten around to making the pot of soup since I've been trying all sorts of new recipes featuring cabbage.
I saw Debbi's recipe for Cabbage Patch Kidney Bean Stew and it reminded me a little of a one-pot meal I used to make years ago. I've lost the recipe for that dish, so I'll have to try to recreate it one of these days. Since I had most of the ingredients for Debbi's recipe, I figured it was the perfect time to throw it all in the slow cooker for an easy dinner!
I only had my cell phone handy, so I apologize for the not so great photo!
Cabbage Patch Stew
*Adapted from Debbi Does Dinner...Healthy and Low Calorie
Ingredients:
- 3/4 lb. pre-cooked ground beef, frozen (I used 80% lean)
- 1/2 head cabbage, chopped
- 2 Tbs. dried minced onions
- 28 oz. can Italian-style diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 cans (15 oz each) kidney beans, drained/rinsed
- 2 Tsp. Italian Seasoning
- 2 Tsp. Chili Powder
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
Place frozen (cooked) ground beef in bottom of slow cooker.
Top with remaining ingredients. Stir as best as you can.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until cabbage is tender.
After about an hour or so, stir the ingredients again to combine with the now-thawed meat.
Notes:
Debbi's recipe cooks on low for 4-6 hours, but I threw this in the crock pot before I went to bed and let it cook through the night while I slept. It cooked for 8 hours and turned out fine. I also started with frozen meat. I probably would use the shorter cooking time if starting with pre-cooked meat not from the freezer.
This meal is perfect on it's own but also tasty served over rice or ditalini pasta.
