Ground Beef & Cabbage Stew 🥘
Description: One day I made this stew for myself (God forbid the kids ever put cabbage in their mouths) They (the kids) accidentally ate it mistaking it for my beef stew. They called me on my cell phone and told me that was the best stew I had ever made. I just let it be my little secret about cabbage.
