  3. Add butter and or oil, onion, and mushroom. Sauté till onion is caramelized. I used the butter and bacon fat for flavor and added coconut oil cuz there was a lot to sauté and didn't want to add more fat.
  4. Add Italian herbs sauté a couple minutes add in hamburger and sausage. Cook till most all pink is gone. Add garlic . Sauté another min. Add cabbage.
  5. Once cabbage is tender add carrots potatoes and stock.
  6. Cook till veggies are all tender add salt and pepper to taste.
