Spicy Beef and Cabbage (from Jenn H)

 

Ingredients:

• 12 oz ground beef
• 1 onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 7 cups stock
• 3 cups shredded cabbage
• 2 stalks celery, leaves included
• 2 large carrots
• 1/3 cup uncooked rice

spices:

• 1 15-oz can tomato sauce
• 3 bay leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• salt to taste

Directions:

Dice the onion, mince the garlic. Cook the beef, onion, and garlic all together until the beef is browned, 5-8 minutes. Drain fat. Add all remaining ingredients except white rice (if you're using brown, add that too as it cooks slower.) Simmer 15 minutes. If using white rice, add it. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Notes:

If you don't have dry mustard powder, use 1 tablespoon prepared mustard.
