Instructions

In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add chopped onions and garlic to the beef and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in chopped cabbage, canned tomatoes with their juice, and bouillon.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and let simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender and flavors are well combined.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional spices to taste.
Serve hot as a complete meal or with a side of rice or bread.

Ground turkey or chicken can be used as a leaner substitute.
For a more filling dish, add cooked rice or quinoa at the end.
Leftovers store well and taste even better the next day.
