I made it as originally written, and then put a spin on it. I cooked the onion in with my ground beef. Drained and added a package of taco seasoning, cabbage, a can of petite diced tomatoes, and about half of a can of water or so. Bring to a slow boil reduce heat slightly and cook until cabbage is tender. Served with a pan of cornbread and it was absolutely delicious! My family literally scraped the pot clean!

We made this with a 1 lb package of ground beef, and 1/2 large head of cabbage because that’s what we had. Followed others suggestions: added 2 cans Rotel instead of the diced tomatoes and doubled the spices. No tomato sauce because we did not have any. It was not soupy, and not a big tomato sauce presence. We liked it that way, but if you’re serving it over a starch (we did not) you might need some more liquid. Hubs had his over noodles, I did low carb and threw cheese on top of mine, sour cream on the side. We loved it this way, and will be making it again.

My kids actually ate cabbage.
Heidi Sherman
Great starter recipe. I used fresh garlic instead of garlic salt, only one can of diced tomatoes, and omitted the tomato sauce. Also added some frozen summer squash from last year’s garden just because it needed to be used. Be sure and at least triple the Italian seasoning. Hubby really likes it.
Nicole Tyler
I added worchestire sauce, celery salt, green pepper and 1 can of each of the tomatoes not 2. It worked out so well. Thanks to previous reviews.
Brian Watson
I loved it. I used my own judgement with the seasonings.
Stephanie Walter
delicious, used ground turkey from Aldi’s, and chopped cabbage from Sam’s, did not put in tomato sauce, and did not add oil. Also hubby suggested we add some bell pepper chopped. Very delicious, thank you!!!
Kevin Cross
Used Tobasco salt & garlic pepper instead of the regular S&P, and WOW! Not only incredibly tasty, but very filling. Oh, and really easy to prepare. Perfect thing to warm you on a chilly day!
Terry Gilbert
I’ve made this dish for years, or something similar. I use Rotel instead of regular diced tomatoes & I add some Worcestershire sauce. It is delicious!
David Gordon
The recipe was pretty good, but I did put my own spin on things a little bit. I also served it over white rice. It was delicioso!
Scott Webb
I cheated so bad…pre chopped onions, and cabbage from produce dept. made it so much easier for a quick meal. Left out red pepper flakes but added a red pepper which was…you guessed it…pre chopped. I served over mashed potatoes and sprinkled a bit of parmesan cheese on top. Delicious. Thank you for sharing.
Kevin Smith
I have been making this for years. In lieu of the tomatoes and red sauce, I use beef broth.
Samantha Gardner
This was easy and delicious! My husband follows a diet and this is a perfect meal with low calories, filling and healthy.

Great if you’re trying to avoid gluten.
Jason Stewart
It was good but I think I need to work on this better next time.
Andrea Perry
Love this recipe. Served over noodles to make it more if a complete dinner recipe.
Michael Jenkins
I really liked this! I did add extra garlic and extra salt, but it wasn’t as bland as I thought it would be based on what other reviews had said. I’ll definitely be making this again!
Crystal Thompson
Came together in a snap! I used frozen cabbage & onions that I’d previously prepped for quick dinners. Hubby loved it.
Anne Armstrong
My family loved the recipe. I cut down the diced tomatoes to 1 and 1/2 cans and didn’t think it was soupy at all. I wish I had looked at what goes into Italian seasoning first because I’m not a fan of rosemary and the scent of it was a bit off putting. However the taste wan’t affected by it (which is funny). Anyway, I will likely leave that out next time and follow others’ advice for seasoning. Great, cheap and comforting meal overall!! And it tastes better the next day too!
Allen Ortiz
Very nice dish. Easy and fast to make. I’ll make this one again!!!
Kimberly Chapman
Left out the tomato sauce bc I don’t like my food too tomato-y. Used medium salsa I had instead of canned tomatoes. Great substitute! Chopped the cabbage super fine to imitate noodles. Topped with chopped green onions for extra kick. Really enjoyed this low carb dish.
