In a large stockpot brown the ground beef.
Add salt and pepper then one can of tomatoes stirring to fully combine.
Reduce heat to medium low and add a layer of cabbage and onions.
Now, add both cans of beans and the second can of tomatoes.
Add the remaining cabbage and onions then top it off with a can of water.
Cover and simmer on low stirring occasionally until the cabbage has completely softened and cooked down.
Serve the cabbage stew with a side of cornbread and enjoy!
- Ensure you use a large stock pot and add the cabbage in layers. The leaves can take a while to cook down, so you'll need the space in the pot.
- Be patient. You may feel as though it's taken too long for the cabbage to cook down. It will happen. Just stir occasionally to turn the stew.
- I highly recommend serving this with warm, freshly baked cornbread—the flavors and texture pair perfectly together.
