INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb Ground Sirloin
• 1/2 head shredded cabbage
• 28 oz diced garlic tomatoes, Heinz
• 40 oz Beef Broth, ours came in a box
• 1 package taco seasoning
• half a bag of shredded carrots
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tablespoons of butter

INSTRUCTIONS

1. The first thing you need to do is cook your sirloin and drain it. Set aside.
2. Throw your butter into a large pan over medium heat. Now take your cut up cabbage and shredded carrots and put in sizzling pan. Personally I like using a wok when I work with cabbage because prior to being cooked down, its a pretty large veggie and takes a lot of space.  Saute your veggies for about 5 minutes, rotating often until they are crisp tender.
3. Dump your drained meat and (non drained) tomatoes into a slow cooker or large soup pot. Add your cabbage, carrots, beef broth, garlic, seasonings and stir.
4. Now add your taco seasoning and stir. Leave on low in a slow cooker for 2 hours or until veggies are soft, then move to warm.
5. If you cook in a stock pot, keep on low heat for approximately an hour, stirring frequently, until veggies are tender. I do not like to monitor a pot on a stove, so I always find it best to throw in a slow cooker. If you need it to be done quicker, you can move your soup to high heat for an hour and then back down to low or warm.
