Recipe Spotlight: Beef and Cabbage

During the month of March, cabbage is a popular vegetable that can be found on sale at the grocery store. Cabbage is closely related to broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts.  Cabbage is typically found in many salad mixes, but is also great in soups or roasted in the oven.  It is low-cost and can keep in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Adding one head of cabbage to one pound of ground beef can really stretch your food budget.  This recipe makes a healthy and satisfying meal.  Try adding other veggies you have on hand such as canned, diced tomatoes, chopped carrots, and onions.
