I'm a big fan of easy low-carb meat and vegetable recipes. They are my go-to dishes for quick weeknight meals.
Cabbage is a vegetable that I don't eat as often as cauliflower and broccoli. Although I really enjoy eating it in coleslaw, I rarely cook with it.
But I needed to use up some canned tomatoes so I came up with this ground beef keto cabbage casserole recipe. It's simple to prepare and makes a perfect easy keto dinner.
This easy weeknight meal has quickly become a family favorite because it's so delicious too.
How to Make a Keto Cabbage Casserole
The recipe is made with simple ingredients and can be broken down into three steps:
- Boil chopped green cabbage and brown ground beef in a large pan.
- Mix the tomato based sauce into the cooked meat.
- Layer the cabbage and meat mixture in a casserole pan and bake.
Slow Cooker Option
For those that like slow cooking, you can use a crock pot instead. Just layer the meaty tomato sauce and chopped fresh cabbage into the slow cooker. There's no need to cook the vegetable first!
The cabbage casserole will be ready to enjoy after 2-3 hours on high or 4-6 hours on low. You really just need to heat things up and soften the cabbage.
I love using the slow cooker so there's no need to babysit the oven. Plus, you can leave the house to run errands and have your keto meal cooking at home without worry.
Reducing Carbs
Tomatoes do add some sugar to this hamburger cabbage casserole recipe. If you are on a really strict keto diet, you may want to reduce the amount or water it down.
However, most of the carbs in the recipe come from the cabbage. So you can use less of it and add more meat to make up the volume.
For added flavor, sprinkle in some Italian seasonings. You can even turn up the heat with a little red pepper flakes.
Storing Leftovers in the Refrigerator
Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to a week. But it's best to consume them within 4 to 5 days. Freezing is recommended for longer storage.
Freezing Ground Beef and Cabbage Casserole
The dish can be frozen baked or unbaked for up to 3 months. So you can easily make it months ahead for an easy keto frozen meal.
I like to split the recipe into two 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch pans. That way, I can cook one right away and freezer the other one for later.
The frozen unbaked keto casserole can be baked right from the freezer. You'll just need to add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time.
If you want to freeze the casserole after baking, allow it to cool first. Then divide it into freezer-safe containers in the desired portion sizes.
To reheat the frozen cabbage casserole portions, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator first. Then either microwave or reheat in a foil covered dish in a low temperature oven until heated throughout.
