Cabbage Skillet Supper

This week I tried an interesting low-fat recipe. Even though I’ve never had cabbage rolls, I’d imagine that this dish is an easier-to-prepare version of that recipe. It contains cabbage, ground beef, cooked rice, vegetables and spices—and what a delightfully different combination of flavors those ingredients produce. This meal was different than the usual fare found on our dinner table, and it was certainly a welcome change. All three of us give this one a big thumbs up!

My husband and I didn’t think our five-year-old daughter would eat it—but surprise—she gobbled it up. It's a tasty way to sneak cabbage into your kids. We gave this meal four stars out of five stars. I’ll surely be making this one again in the near future.

Suggested accompaniments include dinner rolls, cherry tomato wedges, broccoli, and cucumber salad.

Have a good week and good eating!
