I make this tasty one-pot comfort food by mixing tender cabbage, crispy ground beef, and juicy potatoes, all simmered in flavorful beef broth. It's a classic combo that always turns out right.
The ultimate weeknight winner
You only need a handful of cheap basics for a meal the whole crew asks for again and again. It's easy to whip up. And it'll still taste hearty even if you skip the potatoes for fewer carbs.
Here's what you'll need
- Spices: Paprika, caraway seeds, salt, pepper.
- Add-ins: Garlic, tomato paste, broth.
- Main stuff: 6 potatoes, 500 g ground meat, 800 g pointed cabbage.
Let's get cooking
- Final touches
- Pour in broth, toss in potatoes, and let it all simmer for 20 minutes.
- Stack things up
- Roast some tomato paste, add the cabbage, and cook for 3 minutes with everything.
- Time to brown
- Break up the meat and fry until crumbly, season it, then stir in garlic.
- Get ready
- Chop the cabbage thin, cube the potatoes.

My tricks
Want it juicy? Add plenty of broth. Caraway helps cabbage be easier on your stomach. Ditch the potatoes for a low-carb twist.
Great extras
Try it with farmhouse bread or a dollop of crème fraîche. Fresh herbs make it pop. This is a dish that warms everyone around the table.
Stays fresh longer
It's even better after a day in the fridge. Freeze raw cabbage so you don't waste leftovers and you'll save time, too.
Switch it up
Pick savoy or kale instead of pointed cabbage or swap the broth for something lighter. Smoked paprika brings a kick of flavor.
Warm hearted favorite
Easy, filling, super tasty, and ready in no time. A classic dish everyone digs.

Pointed cabbage is magic
This veggie is gentle on flavor, packed with vitamins, and super easy to digest. It helps boost your immune system and strengthen your bones.
Always a good pick
Cozy in winter, light in summer. Using whatever's in season keeps it fresh every time.
Treat your guests
Great for a crowd and stays hot for ages. Add salad and bread on the side, and you’ve got a feast.
Smarter leftovers
Leftover bits get new life here. Freeze spare cabbage, cook later, and waste less.
A fresh take
Switch it up with sweet potatoes, lentils, or global spices. Classic flavors meet new inspiration.

Pure comfort
Always tasty, super flexible, and amazingly easy to make. This is the kind of meal you'll want to cook again and again.
