Ingredients
• 1 lb ground beef (or any ground meat of choice, such as chicken, turkey, or venison)
• 1 small green bell pepper, diced
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 2 tbsp garlic and herb seasoning
• 1 tsp Slap Ya Mama seasoning (or any Cajun seasoning; omit for less heat)
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes (I used Hunt’s with basil, garlic, and oregano)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 head of green cabbage, chopped
• 1 heaping tbsp Knorr beef bouillon + 4 cups water (or 4 cups beef or chicken broth)
• Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, heat over medium heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
- Add the diced green pepper, yellow onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Season with garlic and herb seasoning, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper. Sauté until the vegetables soften.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chopped russet potatoes and stir to combine.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes and add the minced garlic. Mix until well combined.
- Add the chopped cabbage. It might look like a lot, but it will reduce significantly as it cooks—stir in batches if needed.
- Stir in the Knorr beef bouillon and water (or broth). Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes and cabbage are tender.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
