Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add 1 diced yellow onion, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1 teaspoon dried parsley to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened.
  3. Transfer the beef and onion mixture into your slow cooker. Add approximately 4 cups of chopped green cabbage, ensuring even distribution.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine one 14.5-ounce can of petite diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 cup of water. Stir well.
  5. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and cabbage mixture in the slow cooker, gently stirring to coat everything. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
  6. Once cooking is complete, ensure the cabbage is tender and the beef reaches 160°F. Serve warm.
