  • Yellow onion 3 lb bag 1 medium onion $3.49 sale
  • Green cabbage 1 lb, thinly sliced $1.49/lb

  • Garlic 2 cloves, minced $1.50 each
  • Organic parsley or parsley 2 tablespoons chopped $1.99 each or $1.69 each
  • Oil, salt, black pepper as needed pantry

Instructions

  1. Prep 1 lb Certified Angus Beef 80/20 Ground Chuck at the sale price of $6.99/lb. Dice 1 medium onion from the Kroger Yellow Onion 3 lb Bag at $3.49 sale. Thinly slice 1 lb Green Cabbage at $1.49/lb. Slice 8 oz Kroger Whole White Mushrooms at $2.79 per 8 oz if not pre-sliced. Mince 2 cloves Garlic from 1 bulb at $1.50 each. Chop 2 tablespoons Parsley at $1.69 to $1.99 each.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb ground chuck and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it up, until browned. Drain off excess fat if desired.
  3. Add the diced onion, sliced 8 oz mushrooms, and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the onion softens and the mushrooms release moisture.
  4. Add the 1 lb sliced cabbage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until the cabbage is wilted but not mushy.
  5. Stir in the 2 tablespoons chopped parsley and taste for seasoning.
  6. Cool and portion. This protein prep pairs especially well with roasted potatoes, lettuce leaves, or braised carrots.

Cook time: 30 minutes
