Cooking with Cabbage

-

My garden is giving me lots of cabbage!! I have made two recipes that included cabbage so far and have coleslaw on the menu (was supposed to be on tonight’s menu but we had leftovers instead).

Here is what I have made so far…

Crockpot Pot Roast w/Cabbage, Onions & Garlic

This was soooo good!

1 large onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 3lb beef pot roast
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 head of cabbage, cut up

Put sliced onion and minced garlic in crockpot. Add pot roast and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put cabbage around and on top of roast. Cook on low all day (8 to 10 hours) until meat is tender and falls apart.

I served this meal with baked sweet potatoes and a salad. Very yummy!!!



The second meal was hamburger sautéed with onions and garlic. I began by slicing a head of cabbage with my Bosch. You can use a food processor or do it by hand as well..



After that was done I cut up 1 large onion…



Then I cooked up 3lbs of hamburger and the onion…



When the hamburger was done cooking and the onion soft I began to add the cabbage. Raw cabbage takes up a lot of volume. So I added half of it and let it cook down a bit and then added the rest…



Add salt and pepper to taste. This recipe is very flexible. You can easily cut in half or thirds to feed fewer people than I was feeding. I served it with Laurie’s Macaroni & Cheese and a salad…



My family loves this meal. I have used sausage or chicken or kielbasa type sausage in place of the hamburger and it is still yummy! It is also a very quick meal to put together.

    I made the roast and it was delicious! I even made sweet potatoes to go with it, and I'm so glad I did. It was a nice change from the usual white potatoes!

      HI Sherri, I would think cooking it a low temp.. 300 or 325 for 3 to 4 hours (this could vary depending on the size of your roast) would work.. Crystal :)

    Our recipe for 'bierrocks' is the same as your hamburger/cabbage mix. Just make a couple loaves of your favorite bread dough, after risen once - pinch or slice enough up (flattened) to put 1/4 to 1/3 C of the meat mixture and wrap it up, sealing it well. I also put a half slice of cheese down first in ours, BEFORE the meat mixture, as my kids love these with cheese. When all are made, put in oven on cookie sheets and bake at 350 until golden brown. We let these cool, wrap and put in the freezer. Warm up in the micro wave, and you have one of the most delicious sandwiches to go that there is.

Canning Chicken Noodle-less Soup

Today was one of those busy days that it seemed I was moving from the time my feet hit the floor until this evening.. But, I got so much done and that is a great feeling! :) One of my accomplishments today was canning 14 jars of chicken noodle-less soup. I call it “noodle-less” because you can’t can noodles. They end up falling apart. So I canned the chicken, veggies and broth. When I go to use the soup I will bring it to a boil and then add a handful of noodles (any type of pasta will work) and cook it until the noodles are done. Because I plan to add the pasta after the fact I wanted to make sure there was enough chicken broth to do this. So I only filled my jars about half to two thirds with chicken and veggies and then filled with chicken broth. Here is how I did this…. I started off with 2 chickens that were a total weight of about 10lbs. I put them in my 14 quart stock pot… I then added 2 gallons of water.. And 3 tablespoons salt.. I brought this

Canning Cabbage

I had 4 large heads of cabbage that weighted about 25 pounds. We had some really hot days and I figured I better get the last of them picked soon. My daughter Sierra and I ended up processing 3 of them yesterday and I have one left for a meal on my menu this week. I made pickled cabbage and then canned up the last of the cabbage. Here is the recipe for the pickled cabbage (according to how I made it)… 8 pounds cabbage 1 large onion 1 ½ red peppers 1 lb carrots ¾ cup salt 9 cups water 12 cups white vinegar 10 cups sugar 1t mustard seed 1t celery seed Slice cabbage thinly. Slice onion and peppers. Grate carrots. Mix all veggies together in a very large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and mix in well. Let sit for 2 hours to soften veggies. Rinse veggies well.  In a large stock pot (mine was 14 quarts) combine water, vinegar, sugar, spices. Bring to a boil. Add cabbage/veggies. Bring to a boil. Fill hot pint jars with veggies using a slotted spoon. Fill jar with brine to

Canning Beef Stew

In my last blog post I shared that I had bought 10 pounds of beef roast. I cut it all up and used 4 pounds in 2 crockpot freezer meals ( http://homesteadinghomemaker.blogspot.com/2012/02/two-more-crockpot-meals-for-freezer.html ) . I used the other 6 pounds of meat along with potatoes, carrots, onions and celery to can beef stew. Here were the general proportions I used in canning 7 quarts of beef stew.. 6# beef 2# potatoes 2# carrots 1# onions 1# celery After I cut up the meat and got the freezer meals done I moved to the beef stew. I peeled and cut up the potatoes and carrots. I chopped up the onions and sliced the celery. I pulled out 3 quarts of veggie stock from my freezer to use for liquid in the stew. You can use beef or chicken stock or you can use water. I did not add anything to thicken the liquid as usually thickeners don’t hold up in canning. You can thicken the broth after it is opened if you would like. I added 1 teaspoon salt to each of my
