Low Carb Cabbage Rolls are an updated version of mom’s best comfort food with a spicy twist! These cabbage rolls have a ground beef filling that is combined with riced cauliflower and flavored with cheddar cheese and a little jalapeno for a slight heat factor. A mouthwatering meal almost like your mom’s but still just as satisfying and comforting!

Cabbage Rolls bring back childhood memories and a lot of comfort. Everytime I would make cabbage rolls on my own I would remember Mom making them at home for our family. This on it’s own would bring me comfort and warmth!

Since I eat Keto now, cabbage rolls had to take on a new form for me. Rice is out of the picture and in its place is the “new rice” called cauliflower! The beef in this recipe has to have great taste and for me that is Certified Angus Beef ® brand. Great tasting beef makes all the difference in a recipe!

While there is nothing wrong with a traditional cabbage roll flavor wise, I decided that since I am a huge jalapeno fan, that I had use that instead of a regular bell pepper. I think of these as a modernized, keto friendly recipe that I can be completely devour with no guilt!

Making cabbage rolls can be time consuming, but, once you give it a try, you will find it really isn’t that hard at all! Steaming the whole head of cabbage for a just few minutes will soften the cabbage leaves enough to make them easy to remove from the head as well as keep them sturdy enough for rolling.
