Servings:

Add the ground beef and the frozen pepper and onion strips into a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute while breaking up the ground beef until the beef is almost fully cooked.
1 pound extra lean ground beef, 14 ounces frozen bell pepper and onion strips
Lightly drain the can of diced tomatoes, then mix it into the skillet with the beef along with the paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder.
14 ounces diced tomatoes with green chilies, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon oregano, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder
Top the beef/tomato mixture with the cabbage and cover with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 15 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
3 cups shredded cabbage
Remove the lid and mix the cabbage into the beef/tomato mixture. Top with cheese and recover for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
1 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese

I used the Rotel brand of diced tomatoes with chilies.
Use additional shredded cheese if you like things really cheesy.
If you don't have extra lean ground beef, you'll want to drain some of the grease after browning the meat.
You can substitute ground turkey for the ground beef.
Rice was not included in this recipe to keep it low carb. However if desired you can stir in 1 to 2 cups cooked rice. This will make the dish go farther as well - up to 6 servings instead of 4.
You can customize your casserole by adding ingredients like carrots or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.
Season with salt and/or pepper if desired. Or add some red pepper flakes for a little spicy boost!
