Instant Pot Cabbage and Hamburg – THM S with E and FP Option

Instant Pot Cabbage and Hamburg is a quick, budget friendly and nourishing meal. This recipes stretches your meat by adding finely chopped mushrooms. Even the pickiest eaters won’t know that it has mushrooms!! I prefer to use a 93% lean ground beef in my S meals but you certainly could use 85 or 90%.

Mushroom You Say??

Yes, this recipe stretches your meat by using the Trim Healthy Mama “Hack Your Ground Meat”.

Cabbage, the Budget Friendly Super Food

First of all, cabbage is on the list of cancer fighting foods because of a compound called sulphorphane. It’s loaded with antioxidants and cancer fighting flavonoids.  The fiber content keeps things moving in your digestive tract. Cabbage is rich in Vitamin C, magnesium and folate along with Vitamin K. Most note worthy,  it’s a great food for your heart because the polyphenol it contains helps to fight cardiovascular disease by helping to prevent platelet buildup and reducing blood pressure.

Cabbage and Hamburg THM E and FP Options

I love this recipe because it’s so easy to modify from a THM S to either a THM E or FP!! For your complete THM S meal just add green beans with butter and a THM S bread or biscuit.  Now switching to E mode, use 96% lean ground beef or venison; you can use up to a tablespoon of refined coconut oil to saute your meat. To complete your E meal add 3/4 cup of brown rice and a non-starchy veggie like green beans. Last but not least, THM FP use 96% lean ground beef or venison; you can use up to a tablespoon of refined coconut oil to saute your meat and add a serving of green beans.
