Cabbage with Beef and Tomato

Cabbage with Beef and Tomato

In my quest to eat healthier, I have been working on more low carb meat and vegetable recipes. Now that I have been back to low carb for several months, I don’t have as many cravings for sweets. It’s also that time of year when I don’t get out as much as I should because of the cold and I spend a lot more time sitting inside. The holidays have arrived and I will be watching what I eat so I don’t gain the extra pound or two like most people during this time of year.

Baked cabbage with ground beef and tomato

Cabbage is a vegetable that I don’t eat very often. I do like it in coleslaw, but I rarely cook it. One cup of boiled cabbage has about 3.9g carbs and over 90% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin K. Cabbage is a member of the Brassica vegetable family which also includes broccoli, cauliflower, and kale which are all great low carb vegetables. I will be trying out more ways to cook cabbage. Stir frying with meat is how I’ve typically cooked it, but this time, I thought I’d try a baked recipe using boiled cabbage. I had a bunch of canned tomato to use up so this recipe uses three types of canned tomato.
