Whenever I don't know what to make for dinner, I make these quick, easy, and healthy recipes

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork is often less expensive.

pastry dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry dough

💰Cheaper: store-bought pie crust

Whole wheat adds fiber, while store-bought is convenient.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier, and margarine can be cheaper.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with seasoning

Vegetable broth is lighter, and water with seasoning can save costs.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Chop 1 sweet onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until golden.

Add 1 lb ground beef to the skillet; season with salt and black pepper.

Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1 carrot, chopped.

Chop 1/2 small cabbage and add to the skillet; cover and cook for 6-7 minutes over low heat.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 eggs, 5 tbsp sour cream, and 1 tbsp mayonnaise; mix well.

In another bowl, combine 7 tbsp flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sugar; mix well.

Grease the casserole dish with 1 tbsp butter or vegetable oil.

Pour half of the batter into the greased casserole dish.

Add the cabbage-beef mixture on top of the batter.

Pour the remaining batter over the cabbage-beef mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven at 360°F (180°C) for 35 minutes.

Chop 1 cabbage (about 1.7 pounds / 770g) and season with salt and black pepper.

Layer 1/3 of the cabbage in a buttered dish, add 1/2 the meat mixture, and top with 1/2 tbsp butter.

Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of cabbage and top with butter; season with salt and black pepper.

Cover the dish tightly with parchment paper, then with a lid or aluminum foil.

Bake at 300°F (150°C) for about 2 hours, until cabbage is soft and sweet.

For an egg mixture, season 2 eggs with black pepper and add 1 tbsp all-purpose flour; mix well.

Thinly slice 2 medium potatoes and layer them in the dish.

Add 4 eggs and 1/2 cup whole milk to the mixture; season with salt and black pepper.

Add 1 cup Gruyère cheese and mix well; add on top of the potatoes.

Bake at 180°C (360°F) for 40 minutes.

Serve with 1 tbsp sour cream (optional).
