Keto Italian Beef With Cabbage Noodles

1966 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

      Made this for me and a friend and we both loved it. I was in a rush so I used a bad of store bought cabbage. Used the whole bag. Think I’ll use a head of cabbage next time to make the noodles. I tasted it and felt it needed more Italian seasoning so I added another tsp and let it cook some more..This would be a great recipe for putting servings in the freezer for a” no cooking for me” day. I’ll make this again!

                        Yes you can add onion, green pepper, and mushrooms. It sounds like good additions. I add onion and sometimes black olives. If you are going strictly by your macros you will need to adjust the recipe. I didn't adjust the recipe when I added onion andblack olives.

                      So so good and so easy to make. I think I prefer cabbage for noodles seriously. I sautéed onion with the meat in the start and we put parmesan on the top at the end.

                        Tasty! Just made this as my first carb manager recipe and very happy with how it came out. Followed a prior comment to add some parmesan (did it while plating for measurement). Easy to make and filling!

                            For a quick and easy version, I use bagged Cole slaw, ground turkey and Ragu Simply 8 pasta sauce.

                                Made this today, its basically unstuffed cabbage. I only used (probably too much) Italian seasoning, and used minced garlic (measure with your heart babe) it was super fast to cook, especially since I had frozen cabbage that I defrosted. My bf requested this be part of the regular rotation.
