Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the cabbage, taco seasoning, dried minced onion, and water. Continue cooking and stir regularly until the cabbage is crisp-tender, about 5–7 minutes.

Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cabbage and beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5–10 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.

Remove from heat and serve immediately.
