Equipment

  • 1 Baking Dish 9x13 inch
  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl medium

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 head of cabbage chopped
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes

Dumplings

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat. In a separate pan, sauté the chopped cabbage until tender-crisp.
  • Mix the cooked cabbage with the beef mixture. Stir in beef broth and diced tomatoes. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined. Drop spoonfuls of dough over the beef and cabbage mixture.

Baking

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Transfer the beef and cabbage mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with dumplings. Bake for 25-30 minutes until dumplings are golden brown.

Serving

  • Let the bake rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Storage

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Notes

Pro Tips: Ensure the cabbage is tender-crisp before combining with beef to avoid sogginess. Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease.
Ingredient Substitutions: Substitute chicken broth for beef broth for a lighter flavor.
How to Serve: Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the beef and cabbage mixture ahead of time and top with dumplings just before baking.
