Meat Sauce Over Steamed Cabbage

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 head cabbage
• salt
• pepper
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons thyme
• 2 tablespoons butter

Recipe

• 1 brown the ground beef with salt and pepper to taste.
• 2 start the cabbage steaming. i actually put down a layer of cabbage, lightly salted it, put down another layer, lightly salted and the left the butter on top. i like to use unrefined sea salt in my cooking and of course, you can totally leave it out, if you need to. the butter, though, is part of what makes it so tasty!
• 3 back to the ground beef: add sauce, thyme and brown sugar (adjust salt/pepper if needed).
• 4 stir the beef mixture regularly and allow it to simmer, adjusting temperature as needed. if your spaghetti sauce was thin, allow it to cook down. when it's done, it should have a consistency similar to that of sloppy joe's.
• 5 the cabbage is done when it's soft but still somewhat crunchy.
• 6 spread cabbage out on the plate as if it were spaghetti and serve with sauce on top. the flavor is similar to sloppy joe's, just not as sweet and with more emphasis on tomato.
