Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 4 cups Green cabbage, chopped
- 28 oz Canned diced tomatoes
- 15 oz Canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 oz Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste

- 1 tbsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked beef to the crockpot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Transfer to the crockpot.
Add the chopped cabbage, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), kidney beans, black beans, beef broth, and tomato paste to the crockpot.
Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything well to combine.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. The cabbage should be tender and the flavors fully melded together.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.
