Instant Pot Stuffed Cabbage Casserole

This Instant Pot stuffed cabbage casserole is so tasty! Simple pressure cooker cabbage recipe to make for dinner. Unstuffed cabbage is so much easier to make than the traditional method. The ultimate 15 minute comfort food, we love this recipe!

instant pot stuffed cabbage casserole

This Instant Pot stuffed cabbage casserole as we called it was full of flavor, the cabbage maintained a perfect not too soft and not underdone consistency, and overall was a healthy meal for all 5 of us. Definitely one of our favorite Instant Pot recipes now! (originally published 1/18, affiliate links present)

Instant Pot unstuffed cabbage

I hadn’t ever had a stuffed cabbage roll at all until I met my husband.

He raved about this dish his grandmother used to make so I gave it a whirl years ago and shared it here on my slow cooker stuffed cabbage post.

Let’s start with a few basic tips:

  • Make sure to Bookmark our InstaPot recipes page. We add new ones each week!
  • Then LIKE our IP Facebook page for new ideas daily.
    • This is a great InstaPot cookbook and set of wooden utensils are great to grab too.
    • I HIGHLY recommend you buy this non stick pot. It is easier to clean and will avoid the burn message too.

For reference, this is the pressure cooker I have and use for all recipe creations.

In the past making stuffed cabbage was quite time consuming, and my kids found it hard to eat. SO I thought a deconstructed version would be a bigger hit in our house. That is where this creation came about. 😉

I got to experimenting and boy did it come out great! On the first go around it was perfect, and thinned out with some more broth it makes a great soup reheated as well.

  • Two meals out of one creation is my kinda one pot meal I tell you.

Instant Pot unstuffed cabbage rolls

I thought about this dish the other night since I hadn’t made it in a while. A sort of deconstructed Instant Pot stuffed cabbage dish was what I wanted. It took only 12 minutes to cook and was great!

I love being able to dump and go with my pressure cooker and have a complete meal in under 30 minutes including the time it takes to pressurize.

What kind of meat goes well with cabbage?

If making this you can opt for ground beef or I like a mixture of 1/2 lb. spicy ground sausage and 1/2 beef.

What do you eat cabbage casserole with?

Unstuffed cabbage casserole really is a complete meal. Other than a dinner roll I don’t serve it with much.

Can you freeze cooked cabbage casserole?

You could but the consistency of the leaves will be a bit mushy when reheated. I suggest storing in the fridge and reheating in the next 2-3 days for the best results. 1 min. in the microwave should do it.

  • The cabbage cut up into little squares works perfectly when you’re ready to eat and makes it the perfect consistency once it is done.

I don’t like it too wilted and soft or super crunchy either. This timing made it turn out perfectly. Even the kids said it was a winner of a dinner. 😉

My mother in law was over and raved about it too. You could use ground turkey if you rather, and topped with grated parmesan cheese at the end is a must!

Instant Pot unstuffed cabbage casserole

  1. 1/2 head of cabbage
    1. cabbage leaves cut into 1″ squares
  2. 1 jar spaghetti sauce (I just grabbed what was on sale)
  3. Can of tomato soup
    1. or tomato sauce if necessary
  4. 1 lb. ground beef….or ground sausage is amazing – this is how to defrost Instant Pot frozen ground beef in case you forgot to thaw it out the night before. 😉
ground beef
  1. Onion and garlic
  2. White rice – uncooked
    1. some have used brown rice, cook times would be different if using this
  3. Beef broth
    1. could use water 
  4. Spices, salt and pepper

Like I said, it is a really easy dinner to put together and probably something new you haven’t tried before.

Pressure Cooker Cabbage Soup

If you love Instant Pot casseroles we have a few here on our site so after you’ve tried and love this you should head on over and make our Instant Pot chicken parmesan casserole too. 😉

I have also made a slow cooker stuffed cabbage soup that was amazing but of course took all day to cook

  • Then I made this pressure cooker cabbage soup we loved. 
    • It’s now included in our list of Instant Pot soup recipes

Time needed: 15 minutes.

Instant Pot Cabbage Casserole

  1. Saute

    Turn Instant Pot to saute, normal. Add a bit of olive oil, ground beef and diced onion. Could add minced garlic too. Cook until beef is not pink and onions soften

    Turn Instant Pot OFF/cancel button and deglaze your pot. Important step so pot does not overheat and can cool off while draining grease and adding other ingredients.

    If you do not turn it off in between you may have an error/burn code come on as it senses it is overheating.how to deglaze your instant pot

  2. Add ingredients

    Pour in all other ingredients EXCEPT rice and cabbage. Do not stir.
    When all other ingredients are added pour uncooked rice in, do not stir.

    Break up chunks of cabbage and add to top of your mixture, gently push down into the liquid. (make sure pot is not more than 3/4 full or it may not reach pressure)

  3. Cook

    Put lid on and close steam valve. Cook at high pressure for 10 minutes (or if you don’t have that option push your rice button which will automatically set for 12 minutes).

    Do a natural release for 2 minutes, then a quick release.

  4. Serve

    Lift lid carefully, stir, and serve! Can top with chives or even cheese!! It will thicken more as it sits.shredded cheese

* NOTE: Make sure you do a quick release at the end or else the cabbage will become too soft.

  • Also, this will thicken quite a bit as it cools and sits in the pot. Initially it will be a bit thinner.

Just allow the cooked rice and cabbage to sit after pressure cooking to get thicker. Consistency in the photos is approx. 5-10 after taking lid off.

    Tried this for the first time and it turned out great – unanimous thumbs up from the family. Will likely add a few things to the mix but will definitely be making it again.

    Since rice is usually 1:1 with liquid, could I reduce the broth by 1 cup, cook the rice separately and then just add it at the end when everything is cooked?

    Excellent..my wife asked me to please bookmark this site. Still learning my IP but your directions were excellent. I read through your instructions several times for baseline and then went with my tastes. Beef and hot Italian pork sauteed with onions, poured into another bowl and drained. Did 3.5 cups broth made with better than bullion and used it to deglaze the pot. (Yes, I have the non stick. Much easier to clean) After adding the meat and onions back to the pot I added the spices and 1 can of great value sauerkraut (Walmart brand). Less than 2T of additional liquid. I used 1 cup of rice a roni beef because I had some I wanted to use up. I used most of an 8 inch head of green cabbage chopped as instructed. (I have an 8 qt viva). Took almost 20 minutes to come to pressure and almost 6 minutes to fully vent on quick release after the 12 minutes cook time. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Much easier than rolling all those stuffed rolls. We are both over full and had to stop ourselves. Plenty to share with the bil and nephew.

    This was tasty, we love lazy cabbage rolls. This was my third instant pot recipe in my nova duo. I followed the directions very carefully for fear of the burn error. it was all good.

    The reason for 4 stars is mine did not thicken up like the photos, it was more like a soup/stew consistency with too much sauciness and the cabbage was a little crunchy for my liking.

    Any recommendations to thicken this up and cook cabbage a little more would be appreciated as I don’t have enough experience using my instant pot yet.

    I admit to using this recipe as a guideline knowing that there were several ingredients I didn’t have. Instead of soup and spaghetti sauce, I added tomato sauce, tomato paste, fresh chopped Roma’s and some chopped sun-dried tomatoes plus fresh garlic, and Italian seasoning. I used vegetable broth in place of beef and Arborio rice. Definitely a keeper!! Thank you for the great tips. Really hit the spot!!

    Made to recipe specifications, except omitted tomato soup for a larger jar of spaghetti sauce. I also added some chopped celery because it needed to be used. Recipe was good, but overall felt kind of one-note. Anything you recommend to ‘break up’ and add variation to the flavor or consistency of the dish? Next time I might do larger chunks of cabbage for better texture variation, but not sure what else to do.

        I thought we were the only ones to add kraut! Always have because Mom did?. I find it tasteless without. I use diced tomatoes because I love the pieces and V8 not soup & spagetti sauce.

    We love this with ground turkey, chicken stock, and brown basmati rice, everything else the same. Adding the soup and sauce after the stock lessens the burn (which comes off easily after a soak, then a gentle rub with baking soda or salt and hot water).

    Made this for my husband’s dinner today. He is not a fan of Polish golumpki (stuffed cabbage roll). Made this, he LOVED it! Did one stupid thing, stirred the rice into the sauce and meat. Had a rice-sticking-to-the-bottom-of-the-IP issue. Not a bad one, but I will know not to next time I make this recipe. The only MAJOR variation that I did was to NOT add any salt. He is on a salt restricted diet, so I used no-sodium broth and no-sodium pasta sauce.

    I noticed a comment above, but didn’t see a response. First, I browned my meat on the stove to avoid the burn error. When I hit my rice setting, it set for 12 mins at LOW pressure. I didn’t watch the video until after – just followed the directions. I’m guessing it should be set to HIGH pressure? Mine came out more soupy but still tastes great! Beats making regular stuffed cabbage! Just looking for clarification. Thanks!

      High for 12 or you can use the rice button if your pressure cooker doesn’t have high/low. It thickens a lot as it cools and sits a bit so it will thicken for sure in no time at all.

        Did you thoroughly deglaze your pot after cooking the meat? That is usually the issue, that is why I highly recommend getting the non stick pot.

    This was really yummy. I love cabbage rolls but they are so time consuming. I browned a mix of ground pork and beef in a pan before hand on the stove and substituted the pasta sauce for 1 can crushed tomatoes and 1 can tomato sauce. It was amazing and I even shared the recipe with my mom. The comfort of cabbage rolls without the work!

      I tried this recipe. Didn’t know at the end of 12 minutes when it’s said and done, press cancel and then quick release ! I left it on for an extra four minutes.

      So ? How did it turn out ? It looks like Cabbage Casserole Soup and I’m not sure if this step made the difference. As well unsure if using the ” Rice ” button was a good idea or if I should have pressed ” High ” and the outcome dish is because one of these two elements. So far sitting before it cools down to serve wondering if it’ll thicken up.

        I have same question & one additional.
        1. Rice setting or Steam
        Temp ?
        2. High or Low Setting
        I have made cabbage before & the recipe called to pressure cook cabbage for 12 minutes & this was quartered & was far to mushy for my liking. More like 3 minutes needed for cut up cabbage but not enough time to cook the rice.
        On this basis would it be better to cook the mixture at high for 12 minutes then do quick release & then add your cabbage & cook on high for 3 additional minutes?

    Did this without the rice and broth. Hubby is doing low carbs. Tastes great without rice, but i had rice on the side to add if anyone wanted. It does make it taste like the cabbage rolls I’ve made which take hours and a lot more effort and time.

    Burn notice came on three times. All was in pot for about 20 minutes. I did a quick release. Cooked except for some of the cabbage core was still a little tuff. There was a little burning but not enough to affect casserole. I too followed directions, so not sure ? what went wrong. Tasty ? nonetheless.

      Remember to turn your pot off and deglaze the pot after cooking your ground beef, that will trigger the burn error.

    This was my second time making this recipe. I wanted to make a double batch, so started with 2 lbs ground beef and doubling all the rest. I discovered that the pot would be too full, so I removed half the contents to cook separately.

    As many have noted, my pot wouldn’t come to pressure due to burn warning. Had to restart three times, and finally got it going. When I emptied contents in order to do 2nd batch, there was a thick layer of burned rice on bottom. After thoroughly cleaning and letting pot cool, started batch #2 and was careful to barely push rice and cabbage down. This time everything worked great and the consistency was much better.

    My family loves the flavor of this dish. Thank you. Deducting 1 star due to learning curve of recipe.

    So, this is the 2nd time making it. First time, I used brown rice, added a little more time and it was perfect. This time I did the same exact thing and kept getting the “burn” light. I tried to switch it to rice mode, but it still said burn. I dumped everything into a regular pot and put it on the stove to get the rice to cook. There was burned rice on the bottom of the instant pot. I am not sure what I did wrong- I let it cool, I didn’t stir, and used the same exact ingredients. The rice cooked slowly on the stove and it tasted fine. I will have to try it again, because we love this recipe.

      A few others have said this has happened to them and I honestly don’t know. I have made it a few times and have never had an issue with it reaching pressure or saying burn so I’m stumped. I do think some pots/models are a bit more sensitive than others when it comes to the burn message but since it hasn’t happened to me so I’m not sure why.

        I think the problem some have had may have something to do with the liquid amounts and thickness. Some types of rice need to absorb more moisture and spaghetti sauces are of different consistencies. I am a new Instant Pot fanatic and have never had a problem stirring ingredients before cooking provided that there is enough, thin, liquid in the pot. It is easy to thicken a too-thin dish later by taking the lid off and setting it to sauté, or adding a mashed potato.

    I attempted to make this tonight, I failed! I kept getting the burn message. I followed your directions to a “T”. I made sure that there wasn’t anything stuck on the bottom after draining the greese. What happened?

      You need to make sure your turn the pot off and deglaze the pot after cooking the ground beef so it doesn’t trigger the burn message.

        Cauliflower rice is totally different than traditional rice when it comes to cook times. It takes just a fraction of the time so I wouldn’t recommend it for this recipe unless you just put it in for maybe 1-2 minutes.

    Deglaze works. But my ultra IP also indicates burn a lot of times when other items previously have been cooked in it. I’ve learned to make sure IP is completely cool prior to use by using my second pot with couple cups of ice cold water. Takes about 10 minutes and no burn signs.

    Where in this recipe does it say *do not mix liquids with beef*? It just says do not stir rice in. I kept getting the burn too, stirred a few times, still getting burn. Added more liquid and put it on the rice setting. Here’s hoping it works.

      States do not stir in recipe after cooking meat, that is important to prevent it from potentially burning. Meat on bottom creates a barrier. Also turning it off after cooking meat as stated helps prevent burn message from coming up on pot. It has never burned and always turns out well for us using the directions stated.

      I agree. It states do not stir after adding the rice in step four, nothing about not stirring the sauce in step three. Could have been clearer. I didn’t get a burn error, but it would only come up to pressure for a split second. I tried it twice before reading all the comments; both partial fails. Flavor is great, so I may try it again with this clarification…
      Three starts for the flavor – it will be a five if it’s fully successful.

    Well, despite my ‘messing up’ by mixing the liquids with the beef (oops), this came out deliciously! (Fortunately, I didn’t mix in the rice or cabbage…just the beef.) I used basmatti as it was the only rice I had on hand. I feel it could be cooked less than 10 min; my rice was a wee bit mushy at that point, but it was still wonderful 🙂 Also, because I’m a cabbage fiend, I may just cook up the other half of the cabbage and mix it in, because I think that would still taste delicious!
    I got 10 very full cups worth out of this recipe! I put it in myfitnesspal and made it 10 servings instead of 8 and got 258 calories per serving 🙂 ty!

    Unfortunately my Instant Pot, a 6-quart, kept coming up with the “burn” code with this recipe. I scraped the bottom well while trying not to mix the rice in too much. Restarted and got the same problem. 2nd time I scraped and added in 1 cup additional beef broth but still got the burn code. After 4 times of the burn code issue and adding more broth, I gave up. Fortunately by that point the ingredients had been boiling for so long that it was cooked. I loved the flavor, so did my husband, I would love to be able to have this recipe work in my Instant Pot. Any idea why I keep having the issue?

      It states to not mix ingredients when adding to the pot after ground beef is done, that is probably the issue. If you mix them up it will stick more as the ground beef acts as a buffer on the bottom while cooking. You just make sure rice is covered with liquid by gently pushing down, not stirring.

      I’ve found that after using the saute function, you must deglaze, and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to make sure nothing is stuck, or you will get the burn code.
