Ingredients
1 pound andouille sausage, sliced
1 pound lean ground beef
1 head green cabbage, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 packet Lipton Beefy Onion Soup Mix
1 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 to 2 teaspoons Tony's Cajun Seasoning
Morton's Nature's Seasoning, to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Sausage
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
Add the ground beef to the same skillet and cook until browned. Drain excess grease if needed. Stir in the Beefy Onion Soup Mix.
Step 3: Cook the Vegetables
Add the onion and bell peppers. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until softened.
Step 4: Build the Flavor
Stir in the tomato paste and flour. Cook for about 1 minute while stirring constantly.
Step 5: Add the Cabbage
Pour in the beef broth and stir well. Add the chopped cabbage and seasonings.
Step 6: Simmer
Return the sausage to the skillet. Cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
Step 7: Serve
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed before serving.
Notes
- Use ground turkey instead of ground beef.
- Swap smoked sausage for andouille if you prefer less heat.
- Use chicken broth instead of beef broth.
- Add diced celery for a more traditional Cajun flavor profile.
