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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gemischtes oder Rinderhack – beides geht. Schmeckt ein bisschen unterschiedlich, je nachdem.

Schneid den Kohl in nicht zu dicke, gleichmäßige Streifen. So wird er beim Garen schön weich.
