Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
2 lbs ground beef
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
24 oz crushed tomatoes
15 oz tomato sauce
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
¼ cup light brown sugar
½ head green cabbage about 4-6 cups, chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 cups cooked rice (total amount is rice when cooked)
Instructions
Warm the oil in a large deep sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef, chili powder, garlic, salt, and pepper. Crumble the meat as it cooks.
When the meat has browned, about 8 minutes, add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, vinegar, brown sugar. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
Stir in the cabbage, reduce to simmer, and cover with lid. Cook until the cabbage is bright green, tender, and still slightly crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Add in the cooked rice and simmer just until heated through about 2 minutes. Serve warm.
