Hamburger Cabbage Skillet

Hamburger Cabbage Skillet is an easy, one-pot dish to serve your family on a busy weeknight or when you just don’t feel like doing much in the kitchen.
My family loves German and Irish food, and they love cabbage. Sweet cabbage. Stuffed cabbage. Cabbage in rolls. Cabbage sauted with Kielbasa. You name it. We’ve tried it.
I almost always have cabbage in my refrigerator. So I’m always looking for ways to use it. This is one of those throw together meals that my family ended up really liking.
