Savory Beef and Cabbage Skillet

This Savory Beef and Cabbage Skillet combines traditional flavors with a creative twist. Ground beef is cooked until browned and combined with tender cabbage and juicy diced tomatoes, all enhanced by a touch of vinegar for brightness. It's a hearty, one-pan meal that's not only satisfying but also easy to prepare, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small head of cabbage, chopped
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Stir in the chopped cabbage and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted.
4. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
5. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cabbage to become tender.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
