Keto Italian Beef With Cabbage Noodles

1902 ratings

This meal is a gut-filling crowd pleaser! The thinly sliced cabbage acts like “noodles” in this hearty Italian meat sauce. It requires only a little prep work, and is finished within about 30 minutes so there’s no need to slave over the stove for hours! The recipe yields 8 servings which may sound like a lot, but this dish is great to meal prep to keep in the fridge and freezer for future meals!

Recipe Steps

steps 4

30 min

  • Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula or spoon.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Add the garlic, salt, italian seasoning and basil to the meat. Once it is about halfway to being fully cooked, add in the jar of Rao’s sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium-low.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Thinly slice the cabbage, add it to the beef, and toss with a pair of tongs. Once the cabbage is somewhat coated in the tomato and beef mixture, reduce the heat to medium-low and mostly cover the pan with a lid, just leaving a small crack for heat to escape and reduce. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 7-10 minutes, or until the cabbage softens.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 7-10 minutes, or until the cabbage softens. Remove the lid from the pan and allow to cook for a few more minutes to evaporate any liquid that was released from the cabbage. Top with chopped basil and serve!
    Step 4

        Pretty good! Just kinda feels like I’m eating just the spaghetti meat, which I get doubles of when I used to eat spaghetti. So it’s a 10/10 for sure, especially adding a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese

          This was pretty good. I think I would have liked zoodles more than cabbage though. Made as written but topped with parmesan & red pepper flames.

            I can't have the tomato sauce because of my PsA. But I can substitute heavy cream and make like an alfredo.

            This has become absolute favorite. Lasts for days so easy dinner for reheat plateful. And filling. Not hungry afterwards. Best part, losing weight on it! Added mushrooms. Tonight will add red bell peppers and top with grated parmesan cheese. Really looking forward to dinner tonight!

              Oh wow that was amazing! Even skinny husband loves it (with potato mash for him). Can't buy ready made tomato thingy where we live so I had my own home made Pomodoro sauce in the freezer. I also added a pinch of home grown and dried chilli plus a splash of Soya sauce and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese

                I miss pasta the most. Last night I made this recipe and my taste buds were absolutely smitten. 🥰 I followed the recipe to the letter and it is perfect 👌🏽

                  My new favorite SPAGHETTI replacement!!! I use a jar of Raos from costco, and a bag of tri color coleslaw (shredded cabbage w a little carrots for color). I used onion & garlic powder instead of fresh, and just dried basil & Italian Seasoning. Dinner was ready in less than 10 minutes!! I added sharp cheddar & shredded parmesean cheeses. I dont even miss the pasta!

                  This is soooo good, we've worked it into our dinner rotation. Everyone loves it! Our homemade Marinara made from garden tomatoes made it very special this summer. The cabbage in this doesn't even taste like cabbage. The strips of cabbage taste like real noodles. Have made it for company who have never eaten a Keto dish! They loved it, too!

                    I had 10oz bag of angel hair cole slaw in my fridge and used that instead, next time I'll make it two bags this was a great recipe!

                                  This was delicious! I will make this one again for sure! It's only me so I cut the recipe in half. Still plenty for leftovers. And I added mushrooms and a little cayenne. Mmmmmmmm

                                    This dish was really very good. I had my doubts( cabbage) but it turned out very tasty. I'll make it again.I added some cream because I'm not a fan of straight up marinara sauce or anything tomato based. The cream took the sharp tomato taste away.

                                      I really enjoy this recipe, it’s such a healthy option. Second time I’ve made it. Also I make my own keto pasta sauce , you can find the recipe here, and it’s very delicious

                                        Why is the recipe called Keto Italian Beef? Not a huge Italian beef fan almost passed it up. Keto Italian flavored ground beef is less misleading. Also, are the garlic cloves, sliced, diced, minced or whole?
