Keto Italian Beef With Cabbage Noodles

1947 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!

Hamburger Or Ground Beef, 85% Lean

2 pound
Marinara Sauce by Rao's Homemade

24 ounce
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tablespoon
Garlic, Fresh

4 clove
Salt

½ teaspoon
Italian Seasoning

1 teaspoon
Basil, Dried

½ teaspoon
Cabbage, Green, Raw

6 cup, chopped
Basil

1 tablespoon, chopped

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 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 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 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!

  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.

This recipe relies on Rao’s sauce, which has to be purchased? What if I don’t have access to it? That means I can’t make the recipe at all? No thanks—if a recipe depends on a store-bought product, it’s a dealbreaker for me. How about including a homemade version of the sauce instead?

  Very simple to make your own sauce. 2 cans tomato sauce, 1 can tomato paste, seasoning of your choice. I use oregano, garlic, bay leaf and a pinch of basil.

  Make your own. Consider the recipe a suggestion. Rao’s has no added sugar. That’s why it’s in the recipe.

  You could make your own. There are recipes everywhere for spaghetti sauce. I never buy it. It’s fairly simple. Most people prefer convenience over quality.

  I just substitute it with organic tomato sauce and paste…in the quantity you feel is best.
