For a richer flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
Add a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt to each serving for extra creaminess.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
To save time, pre-shredded cabbage can be used.
If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.

    My bacon didn't get crispy enough, so I removed the foil for the last 15 minutes of baking. Worked like a charm!
