Ingredients
- 2 pound hamburger or ground beef, 85% lean
- 24 ounce marinara sauce by rao's homemade
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 clove garlic, fresh
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon basil, dried
- 6 cup, chopped cabbage, green, raw
- 1 tablespoon, chopped basil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula or spoon.
- Add the garlic, salt, italian seasoning and basil to the meat. Once it is about halfway to being fully cooked, add in the jar of Rao’s sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Thinly slice the cabbage, add it to the beef, and toss with a pair of tongs. Once the cabbage is somewhat coated in the tomato and beef mixture, reduce the heat to medium-low and mostly cover the pan with a lid, just leaving a small crack for heat to escape and reduce. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 7-10 minutes, or until the cabbage softens.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for about 7-10 minutes, or until the cabbage softens. Remove the lid from the pan and allow to cook for a few more minutes to evaporate any liquid that was released from the cabbage. Top with chopped basil and serve!
