Hamburger And Cabbage
A hearty and comforting dish combining savory ground beef with tender cabbage, seasoned with onions, celery seed, and creamy celery soup for a satisfying family meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the chopped onion and ground beef in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped cabbage, milk, salt, celery seed, pepper, and the can of celery soup to the skillet.
- Cook until the cabbage is tender and the mixture is heated through, stirring several times.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding garlic or Worcestershire sauce to the beef while browning. If you’re out of celery soup, cream of mushroom or chicken soup can be excellent substitutes. Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option. Also, adding some shredded carrots can enhance both flavor and nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
This dish pairs beautifully with a side of Cherry Tomato Salad or warm bread to soak up the delicious sauce. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside Pennsylvania Dutch Style Green Beans. A sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or basil can add a nice touch to the presentation.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for about 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway to ensure even heating.
