• Add cabbage into pan and saute with the meat just until the cabbage begins to soften.
• Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer until rice is done. You can keep this on low for a long time if you like or even toss everything into a crock pot and keep on low.
