Description

A crunchy and comforting one-dish meal featuring seasoned beef, sautéed cabbage, and melty cheese topped with Fritos.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small head green cabbage (about 6 cups shredded)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 pound ground beef (or turkey)
  • 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 cups Fritos (lightly crushed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, sauté shredded cabbage and diced onion in oil until wilted, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Brown the ground beef with taco seasoning.
  4. In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer the cabbage, beef, a mixture of sour cream and salsa, and shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Sprinkle crushed Fritos on top.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until cheese bubbles.
  7. Add reserved Fritos for an extra crisp finish and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Notes

For best results, shred cabbage thinly and sauté to release moisture before browning the meat. Reserve some Fritos for topping to maintain crunch.
