Keto Italian Beef With Cabbage Noodles

1823 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

    My family and I really liked this recipe. I did double up on the spices after reading others' comments that this meal was kind of bland. I didn't find it bland at all when it was done. I had to cook it way longer than the 10+ minutes though. The cabbage just wouldn't soften fast enough. Anyway, we loved this meal and will definitely be making it again.

      I use fresh Roma tomatoes to cut the sodium. In my opinion the flavor is better too. I also increase the spices but decrease the half tsp salt to 1/4 tsp. It's also good with shredded beef subbed for the ground meat. I make the beef in a pressure pot so that it's very tender. Fresh peppers also a nice addition. Love this recipe! It's so versatile.

        Do you drain the grease from the hamburger, or cook it with the grease?

          In watching the video, it looks like they do not drain the beef

          Super easy to make but I thought it was a little bland. I will try again and increase the spices.

              I didn’t have spaghetti sauce so I added a can of diced tomatoes and a can of sauce with Italian seasonings. Delicious!!

                  I felt like it was pretty good. My husband ate it, but was not a fan of the cabbage noodles. Probably will not make it again.

                    I use Turkey and the bagged coleslaw cabbage. Probably use way more than recipe.

                      Okay great! I was wondering if I could use the shredded cabbage instead.

                    Outstanding. I cook the cabbage a bit longer and it’s even better with a dollop of sour cream.

                                Very good, but I would ramp up the spices a bit.
