Unstuffed Cabbage Skillet

3/4 lbs extra lean ground beef

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

1 pkt. Good Seasons Zesty Italian Salad Dressing & Recipe Mix

1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes

8 cups shredded cabbage (about 1 lb)

1 c. water

1 c. Minute Brown Rice, uncooked

Here are some of the ingredients... I don't use the Minute Brown Rice, it doesn't seem to cook well in the "minute" brand. I also had diced tomatoes on hand, which I just put into a bowl and used my immersion hand blender and pulsed a few time, crushing them up!

Now, brown your hamburger meat and your chopped up onions, toss in your package of Good Season's Italian seasoning. Give it a little stir every now and then, let it brown up and do it's thing...

While your meat is browning, you need to shred up your cabbage. I suppose you could go buy the already shredded cabbage, like for coleslaw, but a head of cabbage is relatively inexpensive!

Then, after the meat is browned, you need to add your cabbage, and your crushed tomatoes!

Give it a little stir action there in your pan, reduce the heat to simmer and cover w/ lid, nice 'n tight. Let it simmer for about 20 - 25 minutes or until cabbage is tender.

After a fashion, you will add your rice and water, giving it another stir. Bring the heat up for a minute or two, then cover it with a lid, reduce the heat, and cook for 5 minutes more. Give it a little stir and let it sit before serving, it's so tasty!!! :)

Yummy, yummy to my tummy! Hope you all try it out! :) Let me know if you all like it!
