Ground Meat and Cabbage
Low Carbohydrate Recipe

Ingredients:
1 pound extra-lean ground beef (or mixture of beef and turkey)
1 small onion diced
2 tablespoon oil
1/2 head cabbage (about 3 cups coarsely shredded)
2 tablespoon carrots shredded (optional)
1 bouillon cube
1/2 cup water
Chopped fresh garlic to taste
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
Onion powder to taste
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 small tomato thinly sliced
Shredded Parmesan and/or romano cheese

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine ground meat, onion and garlic powder in a 2-quart covered oven casserole/pan with oil. Saute uncovered for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up meat mixture. Drain off any fat. (Optionally, this can be done in a skillet and then moved to a covered casserole at this point.)

Add cabbage and all but last two ingredients and toss well. Cover casserole and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Remove cover during last 15 minutes, top with sliced tomatoes and shredded cheese and return to oven for balance of baking time.

This recipe yields 6 servings; 3 carb grams per serving.

Comments: You can use 1/2 cup canned chicken broth here in place of bouillon and water if you prefer.
