Origin and History of Cabbage and Ground Beef Recipes

The combination of cabbage & ground beef has been around for centuries, especially in European and American cooking. Cabbage is a cheap and hardy vegetable that grows well in many parts of the world, which made it a staple for people who needed to feed large families on a tight budget. In Eastern Europe, dishes like stuffed cabbage rolls, often made with ground beef, are common. These dishes traveled to the United States with immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries.

This ground beef and cabbage recipe was my mother’s. She was a country cook, plain and simple. But as I have traveled and worked and experienced foods from around the world, I look back and realize that many of the dishes she prepared, while simple, were perfect for that moment. Sometimes we have to put emotion and love in a dish to make it extra-special. Serve with corn on the cob and cornbread.

Ingredients

1 large head cabbage, finely chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice

Place cabbage, tomatoes with juice, onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper into a Dutch oven or large pot over low heat; cook and stir until it begins to simmer.
