Amish One Pan Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet is one of my favorite ground beef and cabbage recipes that’s budget-friendly, uses just a few ingredients and is made in one pan – so little clean-up and it’s practically fool-proof.

I call this ground beef and cabbage recipe an Amish recipe because it’s inspired by their simple lifestyle and comforting recipes.

Every time we visit our family’s cabin in Montello, WI, I always have to make a stop at the Amish bakery and grocery store.

They make the most amazing cinnamon rolls, yogurt-covered pretzels, and pies homemade every day. Plus, the Amish lifestyle is completely fascinating to me.

There’s a small farm there that sells fresh produce from their garden. Rather than monitoring it all day, they simply set everything out in a shed and ask shoppers to leave money in a wooden box. HONESTY AND TRUST STILL EXISTS.

We’ve heard the farm is trying to raise money for a small girl’s Leukemia treatment, but we don’t exactly know if that’s true.

Nonetheless, I picked up a head of cabbage and a bunch of onions from the Amish farm, along with some grass-fed ground beef from the Madison farmer’s market. And by golly I made Amish One-Pan Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet.

Ground beef and cabbage recipes are a great combination because they’re hearty and budget-friendly. This recipe reminds me of a deconstructed stuffed cabbage rolls.

If you turn your nose up at cabbage before … you’ve gotta trust me on this one!

The beauty of cabbage and ground beef recipes is that they’re budget-friendly and super delicious (I also LOVE this soup version).

This whole thing will take you about 30 minutes and is hearty enough to eat for dinner! It’s also great as leftovers, and might even taste BETTER the next day.

Variations of Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet:

• Feel free to mix it up by adding any vegetables you might have on hand! Fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, and peppers would be great!
• To make it go further, serve over rice, quinoa or egg noodles.
• To make this recipe easier to make, buy pre-shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix.
• Feel free to sub ground turkey for ground beef!
• This recipe tastes amazing topped with cheese. I recommend topping with shredded cheese and popping the pan under a broiler for a few minutes until melted.

It may not be the prettiest of all dinner recipes, but even the pickiest eaters will gobble this Amish One-Pan Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet up.

If you’ve never tried ground beef and cabbage recipes, definitely give this one a chance.

Not only is it budget-friendly, but it’s healthy and delicious when combined with ground beef and tomatoes.

Update: if you want to get super high quality meat delivered to your door, I’d HIGHLY recommend Butcher Box. I love their ground beef to make this recipe, and they have the BEST 100% grass-fed and finished and pasture raised steaks. Check it out here.
