You’ll Never Make Cabbage the Same Way Again

All right, guys. So there was a viral recipe called the dirty spaghetti. This is a low carb version called the dirty cabbage. So this is weight loss friendly. It's low carb. It is super, super high in protein. Now, if you're new here, I've lost over a hundred pounds. I've been maintaining my weight for over 15 years. So recipes like this not only help me lose the weight, but also maintain it, okay? So I'm gonna show you how easy this is to make. I am using both ground beef and ground pork, but you could use turkey. You could use just ground beef, ground chicken. You could use literally your ground meat of choice. And then all the veggies. So this meal here, again, this is a great dinner idea. This is a great meal prep idea. Sometimes when you are on a weight loss journey, I feel like meal prepping is going to make things a lot easier for you to stay on track. So anyway, I'm gonna show you how easy this is to put together, okay? So I'm gonna go ahead. I was kind of thinking like, I didn't know if I should use this guy here. I might be better off using our pot. So these, by the way, are from Hexclad. Gorgeous, gorgeous pans. I actually have the entire set now. They are, it's basically like getting three in one. So you have the stainless steel capacity. It also has the cast iron capacity and nonstick, but they're actually ceramic. Yeah, I think one of the biggest issues that I've had with pans is, you know, when you're cooking and then it starts getting scratched up, you end up with like little pieces of like Teflon or material in your food. So these are actually scratch resistance. They're free of forever chemicals. And on top of that, they're oven safe. So I can literally start cooking, toss it into the oven. I don't know, for me, these have been absolutely amazing. So I'll go ahead and leave the set that I got in the description below, or you can scan the QR code on the screen. You'll get an additional 10% off on your order. So right now I am making sure this is nice and hot. I'm gonna start off by cooking our meat, obviously. I like to get it a little kind of like browned. I'm just using a, I am doing the ground beef and ground pork, but again, you can do the ground chicken or turkey. Any of those meats are going to work just fine. And this is just the sausage. So it's like the Italian sausage. So I'm just gonna go ahead and cook this almost all the way through, and we're gonna add in all of our veggies. But I'm telling you, this is one of those one pan meals. You throw everything right into the pan, and then boom, dinner is served. So super, super easy. It's great for you to make during the week, weekday dinner, even a weekend dinner. But don't sleep on this recipe. I made this for my Instagram channel, and I have had so many people make it and thank me, even though I wasn't the creator of this recipe, because they now have another additional recipe to add into their weekly rotation. It is literally that good. So now might as well just toss in our veggies. We have our onion, put that in there. Sometimes I like to saute it, but the meat ended up releasing a little more juice, like liquid. So it's not going to saute, but it'll still cook into like all the flavor. So we have red bell peppers, green bell peppers. We're gonna toss in our cabbage right now. Let's go ahead, and we're just kind of tossing everything in there. So we need some tomato paste, some minced garlic. I thought I had more tomato paste, but I didn't. So luckily I had one of those little packets of tomato paste. I will have like an actual step-by-step recipe for you in the description below, and that'll give you the exact measurements. And don't forget to always check the description because I have the recipe in there. I leave things that I used in there. My meal plan is in there. So if you are on a weight loss journey, then make sure you pick that up. It's going to be super, super helpful. It not only shows breakfast, lunch, dinners. I also show you how to do swaps, intermittent fasting. I basically just hold your hand throughout your whole weight loss journey. And that is in my ultra low carb meal plan. So I will leave that linked in the description below for you, okay? Okay, so at this point, we've added the veggies. We added the tomato paste. We're going to add in some Worcestershire sauce. I'm not used to cooking with a lot of Worcestershire sauce, but it definitely makes a huge difference for a recipe like this, okay? So do not skip out on it. I feel like without it, it just would not taste the way it's supposed to. We are also going to, I'm going to do salt and pepper. We have some Italian seasoning. Go ahead and add a good amount of that. A little bit of garlic, a little bit of onion. As long as your seasonings don't have salt, then you can season with your heart. If they do contain salt, you need to be a lot more careful because your dish will end up super salty. Okay, I'm going to make a little slurry. Now you can use arrowroot. You can use cornstarch. You can use even like a xanthan gum or something like that. When you're making a slurry, I mean, if you're using cornstarch, always mix it into water. It almost looks like a sloppy Joe. So now we are going to add in a little bit of bone broth. I like adding bone broth because it just adds more nutrients. Bone broth is great for your gut. It's great for your hair, skin, and nails. So if you make your own bone broth, great. If not, then just pick some up. I am not going to spend 24 hours making it. So I just stock up on it. Okay, so once you have everything cooked, mine is pretty much done at this point, we're going to add in our cabbage. Now remember, with the cabbage, it might seem like a lot, but cabbage will cook down. Think of like, think spinach. Okay, so I have that. Let's give that a mix. I think I might even, I cut up more, but cabbage is a great veggie for weight loss because it hardly has any calories. It's low in carb. It adds volume to your food. So if you're a volume eater, then cabbage is a great veggie. Such an easy meal. Do you see that? Literally just threw everything in, cooked the meat, throwing your meat, throwing your veggies, add a little bit of liquid, and then your cabbage. And when I tell you this is going to be one of those meals that you are making a few times a month. This was ready from start to finish, 15 minutes. It is so, so easy to make. This is definitely one of those comfort meals. Like it is very filling. It feels, you know how some foods you have and you just feel very light? This is one of those meals that is going to feel nice and like, it's going to make you feel full, but not in a like food coma way. Like you're just going to feel very nice, full and satiated, has a lot of veggies, obviously a lot of protein. We get the healthy fats from the meats, and then we have all the additional protein, even from the bone broth. So this is a very, very highly nutritious meal that is going to help you on your weight loss journey or just to feed your family a nice and nutritious meal. So make sure you don't sleep on this. This is going viral for a reason. And if you liked the dirty spaghetti, then there is no reason why you're not going to like this dirty cabbage, okay? I'm going to go ahead, make sure that it doesn't need any additional seasonings. Woo, it's piping hot. This literally just came out. So look at that. I'm about to burn all my taste buds off. Wow. Guys, I'm telling you, the flavor of this, 10 out of 10. Super flavorful, super easy. Absolutely no reason not to make it. Again, I will leave the recipe in the description below.
