How to Make Cabbage Roll in a Bowl
This dish couldn’t be any easier.
Start with the biggest skillet you’ve got. It’s all going into one skillet, so you need to start with a big pan.
Then, brown a pound of ground beef.
Add a bag of coleslaw shreds and chopped (or riced) cauliflower and let that cook down a bit.
Add dehydrated onion flakes, garlic powder, cream and this home-made keto tomato sauce. That’s it!
What to Serve with This One-Pot Keto Meal?
I serve this with regular rice for the rest of the family, then I just get a big bowlful for myself and dig in!
Sometimes, I’ll add another green veggie like Skillet Braised Kale (can’t get enough fiber, right?) or Oven-Roasted Broccoli.
Chef’s Tips
- Start with lean(ish) ground beef, like 80/20. It’ll have plenty of flavor and you won’t have a lot to drain from the skillet.
- Use a good quality tomato sauce, like this keto Oven-Roasted Tomato Sauce
- Don’t overcook the cabbage! These shreds have a tendency to cook into nothingness – just cook until the cabbage is tender-crisp
- Switch things up! Try this dish with ground pork, ground chicken, or a combination.
- This keto recipe is freezer friendly! Freeze it in single portions for quick lunches, or freeze a whole batch for a weeknight dinner.
Freezing Cabbage Roll in a Bowl
Cabbage has a fairly high water content, so you’re going to lose some of the texture if you freeze and thaw this keto Cabbage Roll in a Bowl recipe, and it might be a bit more watery when you thaw it.
To freeze it, seal it in ziplock freezer bags in single or family-size portions, and press out all the air.
Freeze for up to three months.
To thaw, allow to thaw overnight in the fridge, or remove it from the bag and place it in a bowl and thaw it on defrost in the microwave.
Heat, covered, in the microwave, stirring every few minutes, until heated through.
