Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbs tomato paste
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 14½ oz fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 small green cabbage diced
  • 1¼ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
For Garnish
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • chili pepper flakes for garnish

Equipment

  • Wide Skillet or Braiser
  • Broiler (optional)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, salt, and spices, cooking for about 5 minutes until browned and crumbled.
  2. Stir in the diced onion and cook for 2 minutes. Then add garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire, and soy sauce, cooking for another minute.
  3. Pour in diced tomatoes and water, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the cabbage, bring to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 15-20 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella over the skillet and cover to melt the cheese. For browning, briefly broil the oven-safe pan for 1-3 minutes, watching carefully.
  5. Serve the skillet hot or warm, garnished with fresh parsley and chili pepper flakes.

Notes

Ensure your skillet is oven-safe if you plan to broil the cheese for a golden finish. This dish is excellent served with a side of crusty bread.
