Ingredients
- 1 pound of ground beef, lean and flavorful
- 3 links of smoky sausage, thinly sliced for added texture
- 1 diced medium onion, for a savory base
- ½ cup of vibrant red bell pepper, finely diced
- ½ cup of fresh green bell pepper, diced for a pop of color
- 2 large cloves of garlic, minced finely
- 6 cups of rich and hearty beef broth
- 1 can (16 ounces) of diced tomatoes in Italian-style seasoning
- 1 head of cabbage, cored and sliced into wedges for a rustic touch
- 3 carrots, peeled and diced for a hint of sweetness
- 1 can (15 ounces) of tomato sauce with Italian flavors
- ⅓ cup of brown sugar for a touch of sweetness
- ⅓ cup of apple cider vinegar for a tangy kick
- 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon for a subtle herbaceous note
- 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce for depth of flavor
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, adjust to your preferred spice level
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Step 1
Begin by heating a Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef and sausage in the pot for roughly 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once done, drain excess grease while saving about 2 tablespoons for added flavor.
Step 2
Next, introduce the onion and bell peppers to the same pot, allowing them to sauté in the savory meat drippings. After about 3 to 4 minutes, add the garlic, ensuring all vegetables are tender and aromatic without burning, for an additional minute. Proceed by pouring in the beef broth, diced tomatoes, cabbage, and carrots.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, create a delectable mixture of tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, tarragon, and Worcestershire. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then add this blend to the pot along with the red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Step 4
Once the pot reaches a boil, lower the heat and let it simmer for approximately 45 minutes, allowing the cabbage to cook and the flavors to meld perfectly. Before serving, taste the dish and adjust the seasonings as necessary. Finally, present your delicious creation.
