Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef

¼ cup low-carb taco seasoning

1 Tbsp dry minced onion

¼ cup water

1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese


Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef.

  3. Drain any excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning, minced onion, and water.
  4. Add the shredded cabbage and stir to coat it in the seasoned beef mixture.
  5. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until cabbage is softened.
  6. Uncover and sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top. Allow it to melt for 2–3 minutes.
  7. Serve hot directly from the skillet.

Notes
