Think I'll try this recipe from WELLNESS MAMA:

Beef and Cabbage Stir Fry

The adjustment to eating real food can be a shock to the food bill, but this recipe is the exception. This is one of my go-to recipes because it is fast and inexpensive to make. My one year-old will even eat cabbage when I make it this way!

I love this beef and cabbage stir fry recipe because it comes together quickly and easily and only gets one pan dirty! It is a healthy version of Hamburger Helper and it packs a delicious punch of nutrition.

There are also a lot of variations to this recipe:

• Add cumin, chili powder and salsa to make a Mexican version
• Add fermented soy sauce and ginger to make a Chinese Variation
• Add a dozen eggs after it is cooked and bake to make a casserole

Another simple one-pan recipe that is a favorite at our house is Pakistani Kima, which also uses ground beef but also uses sweet potato and green beans as the vegetables and seasons with a hint of curry.
