Creamed Hamburger And Cabbage
Creamed Hamburger and Cabbage offers a hearty, comforting blend of ground beef, tender cabbage, and creamy soup, perfect for a satisfying family dinner.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook ground beef in a skillet until no longer red, breaking up the meat. Spoon off most of the grease.
- Add chopped cabbage and dry minced onion to the skillet. Cook until lightly browned.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, cream of celery soup, milk, salt, pepper, and celery seed to the skillet.
- Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic powder or diced bell peppers along with the onion. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option, and if you don't have cream of celery soup, any cream soup will work. Adjust the seasonings to your taste; adding a dash of hot sauce can bring an extra kick to the dish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the creamed hamburger and cabbage over rice or egg noodles for a hearty meal. A side of crusty bread or a simple green salad balances the richness of the dish nicely. This recipe pairs beautifully with Heather Heffner's Reunion Casserole for a comforting dinner spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave it, covered, for about 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway for even heating.
