Notes
- Storage: Leftovers keep covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. They do not freeze well, as the texture of the vegetables will break down in the freezing and thawing process.
- Reheating: Warm up servings of leftover cabbage and ground beef in the microwave on medium heat for 1-2 minute intervals, or until warmed through.
- Substitutions:
- Beef: Ground turkey, ground pork, or even ground chicken can substitute for ground beef.
- Vegetables: Any combination of zucchini, mushrooms, green beans, red onions, green onions, or broccoli can substitute for sweet peppers, carrots, and yellow onion.
- Cabbage: red cabbage can work in place of green cabbage.
