Variations to Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet Recipes

One of the great things about ground beef and cabbage skillet recipes is that there are plenty of ways to change them. You can easily do a few changes on this recipe to make it even better.

  • Want to Make it Go Further: Sometimes when I am short on ground beef I like to add other things with it to make the meal stretch. Not to mention that it makes a great way to save money. With this recipe you can add pasta or potatoes, and even rice. It fills this meal out and doesn’t take away from how great it tastes.
  • Make it Lighter: If you want to make this a lighter meal in fat and calories, you can use ground turkey or ground chicken. You can use breast meat to give it even less fat and calories.

How to Store Leftover Beef and Cabbage

While this recipe disappears fast, you might find that you have leftovers. If that is the case, you will want to move the leftovers, once they have cooled, to an airtight container or a bowl that you can wrap in plastic wrap. Then store the beef and cabbage leftovers in the refrigerator.

The leftovers will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

How to Reheat this Easy Taco Recipe

When you are ready to reheat the easy taco recipe, you can reheat it in the microwave or in the stove top in a skillet. If you are reheating the entire amount of leftovers, it is usually easier to reheat in a skillet.

If you are reheating individual servings, you might want to use the microwave for convenience.

Can Beef and Cabbage be Frozen

If you find that you have too many leftovers to eat before it spoils, or you want to make this as a freezer meal, you can certainly freeze it. You can store it in an airtight container or in a freezer bag.

I prefer the freezer begs because it lets me freeze it flat and I can write on the bag. I like to label the bag with what is in it and when it was made.
