My beef and cabbage supper began as a Reuben sandwich idea without the gluten. We also make it with smoked sausage. It’s comforting on cooler days. —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas
Saucy Beef & Cabbage Supper Recipe photo by Taste of Home
In a 6-qt. stockpot, cook and crumble beef with onion and garlic over medium-high heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes. Stir in cabbage, carrots, 2 tablespoons oil and seasonings; cook and stir until vegetables are slightly softened, 7-11 minutes.
Stir in ketchup, vinegar and remaining oil. Cook, uncovered, 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

My husband and I absolutely love this recipe. We made a few changes. Added celery and cooked the veggies a bit more before adding the meat. We usually use ground turkey. Omitted the cloves and added dijon mustard to the ketchup and vinegar.

I made this with a few modifications and it turned out great! The hubs and I absolutely loved it! Heres what I did:
-Added chopped red pepper and celery
-Sauteed the vegetables a bit first before adding the beef; added the garlic after draining off the beef fat
-Seasoned the mixture with caraway seeds,paprika, salt and fresh ground pepper and omitted the cloves and allspice
-Added 2 tsps. dijon mustard and 2 tsp. dill pickle relish to the ketchup/vinegar

I have made this twice now. I have modified it only slightly. My husband needs to eat a low-sodium diet. I have left out the salt (of course!) and changed the ketchup to a no-salt variety. I also cooked the veggies just a little longer than called for. I loved the caraway so much, we added a sprinkle more. My calculations make 100 mg of sodium per serving. That's great! Thanks!

This didn’t taste like a Ruben that’s for sure. After reading all the reviews I thought this would be a hit. We were not impressed. Was really sweet and all we could taste was the cloves. Will not make again

Warm and delicious. I made the recipe as printed but added a few extra minutes of cook time to further tenderize the veggies. The spices added some warmth to the dish while the vinegar and the ketchup really brightened it up. It is a great way to stretch ground beef. I recommend chopping the cabbage fairly small (maybe around an inch or two) so you don't have to fight it with each forkful.

This wasn't our favorite but it successfully used up the cabbage and carrots in our frig before they went bad. Always fun to experiment with a new and different recipe!

This was very different for me. I had only used these spices in sweets. It was delicious! Definitely will make again.

Have already made this a couple of times. Love the beef and cabbage mixture with the tang of apple cider vinegar. We didn't have caraway seeds, but it didn't matter. Can't wait to try it with some good smoked sausage.

I added about 3/4 cup water with the vegetables and omitted the allspice and cloves. Used vegetarian hamburger crumbles to veganize recipe. Dish was delish...my German husband loved it. Caraway seed is a wonderful, little used spice. Served with baked russet potatoes.
