Keto Italian Beef With Cabbage Noodles

1948 ratings

This meal is a gut-filling crowd pleaser! The thinly sliced cabbage acts like “noodles” in this hearty Italian meat sauce. It requires only a little prep work, and is finished within about 30 minutes so there’s no need to slave over the stove for hours! The recipe yields 8 servings which may sound like a lot, but this dish is great to meal prep to keep in the fridge and freezer for future meals!

Recipe Steps

steps 4

30 min

  • Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula or spoon.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Add the garlic, salt, italian seasoning and basil to the meat. Once it is about halfway to being fully cooked, add in the jar of Rao’s sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Thinly slice the cabbage, add it to the beef, and toss with a pair of tongs. Once the cabbage is somewhat coated in the tomato and beef mixture, reduce the heat to medium-low and mostly cover the pan with a lid, just leaving a small crack for heat to escape and reduce. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 7-10 minutes, or until the cabbage softens.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 7-10 minutes, or until the cabbage softens. Remove the lid from the pan and allow to cook for a few more minutes to evaporate any liquid that was released from the cabbage. Top with chopped basil and serve!
    Step 4

    This was really tasty. The only thing is, it would be nice to know how much 1 serving is. I made the 6 serving recipe with the intention to divide it into 6 servings to freeze and eat later. But I was unsure how much 1 serving is. I had to just kind of eyeball 6 separate bowls and hope they were divided evenly. .

        I made this with chicken and added capers, mushrooms, and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. And more garlic of course. Loved it!!

                        I prefer slightly crunchy cabbage noodles as well. Especially since I like leftovers and that way the noodles aren’t soggy.

                          After making this many times and loving it, I decided to give it a bit of a twist. I used chili infused olive oil to brown the meat, added tomato paste and cabbage, once cabbage al dente, I added 1 creamcheese, put the mix into the casserole dish and covered with shredded mozzarela. Baked for 10min and 5 min under a grill. It was delishes.

                          I made this meal for the first time. I exchanged seasoned hamburger for Italian meatballs. I'll make it again for sure.
