  This is one of our family’s favorite comfort foods.  I think cabbage is good for you, but I don’t want to do a whole lot of preparation, or wrapping, I just want to throw it in.  Here’s a meal I came up with that we enjoy and it’s quick and easy to make too. 

Ingredients:

• 1lb ground beef
• 1 onion
• 1 green pepper
• 8 oz wide flat noodles
• 3 cups beef broth or stock
• 1/2 small head of cabbage
• 1 cup  peas or corn or your other favorite veggie.
• salt & pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheese.

Directions:

Saute ground beef with peppers and onions.  Drain off the grease.  In a large pan or wok, heat up the broth until boiling.  Add in the noodles and simmer until the noodles are almost cooked. 

While noodles are cooking, slice up cabbage into strips and heat up peas (I use the microwave).  If it seems like your noodles need a little more liquid, add it so that it doesn’t stick to the pan.  When the noodles are almost done, add in ground beef, cabbage and peas(or whatever). Let it bubble until the cabbage wilts, but is still firm. Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper. Finish up by topping with shredded cheese.
