Common questions
- Can I use ground turkey or pork instead of ground beef?
- Yes, ground turkey or pork work well as substitutes with similar cooking times, though pork will add a slightly different flavor and turkey will be leaner. Keep in mind that turkey may dry out more quickly, so watch it carefully and don't overcook it.
- How long does ground beef and cabbage last in the refrigerator?
- Properly stored in an airtight container, cooked ground beef and cabbage will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months for longer storage.
- What's a good side dish to serve with ground beef and cabbage?
- Rice, noodles, or crusty bread are classic pairings that soak up the savory flavors well. For a lighter option, serve it over cauliflower rice or with a simple salad.
- How can I make this dish healthier?
- Use lean ground beef (93% lean or higher), load up on extra cabbage and other vegetables, and reduce added oil by using a non-stick pan or cooking spray. You can also swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa if serving it as a grain bowl.
- Can I prep the cabbage ahead of time?
- Yes, you can chop cabbage up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge, which will save you time during cooking. Just wait to cook it until you're ready to eat so it stays crisp.
