Ingredients you will need: (Cut in half for a single batch)

• 2 lbs. Ground beef or turkey (your choice on meat)
• 2 bags Dole (or another brand) Classic Cole Slaw Mix
• 4 Green Onions
• 3 tsp minced garlic (I used real garlic and cut up just a few slices, adjust to taste)

Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparing the Recipe

1. Begin by browning the ground beef or turkey in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook until fully browned, then drain any excess fat.

4. Combine the drained meat with the cabbage mixture. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients.
5. If desired, add a touch more soy sauce to enhance the flavor.
6. Serve hot and enjoy!
