👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Brown the Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
2️⃣ Build the Flavor
Add olive oil (if using), onion, and garlic. Cook 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.
3️⃣ Add the Veggies
Stir in cabbage, bell pepper, and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle in paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
4️⃣ Simmer
Add a splash of broth or water, cover, and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender.
5️⃣ Finish & Serve
