How to Make Cabbage Casserole
This One Pan Cabbage Casserole is a low carb version of the classic. Browned meat, chopped cabbage, tomatoes and spices come together to create a healthy, easy comfort food! Here is how we make it:
- Brown your meat and drain off any fat.
- Add a chopped onion and sauté until softened.
- Add in half a head of cabbage chopped into medium size chunks.
- Add one can of Ro-tel, a small can of tomato sauce, spices, and stir well.
- Cover and cook on low for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, stir everything well and check the cabbage to see if it is tender enough for your liking. If it isn’t cooked, cover and check at 3 minute increments until it is.
- Cover with cheese and place the lid back on for just a minute or two until melted.
That’s it! An easy and filling low-carb dinner ready in no time at all!
Can I Prep Hamburger Cabbage Casserole in Advance?
This keto casserole is best enjoyed right away. However, since cabbage is a hearty vegetable you’d likely be fine to prep this recipe in advance and reheat it later. If prepping in advance, I recommend waiting to sprinkle the cheese on top until you plan on serving it.
Can I Add Other Veggies to This Dish?
I don’t see why not! You’re welcome to add veggies like bell peppers, jalapeños, etc. to this cabbage and hamburger. You could even add a can of drained black beans, if desired. Just keep in mind that adding veggies and / or beans would affect the number of net carbs per serving.
Tips for Making Hamburger Cabbage Casserole
- You can use ground beef or ground turkey in this low carb casserole recipe.
- Make sure you don’t chop the cabbage too small since it shrinks so much while it is cooking.
- Do NOT drain the canned tomatoes and green chiles. The liquid the tomatoes are in is packed with flavor!
