Instant Pot Southern Cabbage Recipe

Totally a new staple in my household.

I made a few changes. The most significant was 2 12oz. links of beef Polska Kielbasa cut into 1 in pieces instead of the bacon. I also used beef broth rather than chicken stock, added one chopped onion when sauteing the sausage, and a bit of thyme and Frank's Red Hot sauce when adding the cabbage. I cooked it in my electric pressure cooker on high pressure for 5 minutes, and did quick release. Everyone loved it, and the cabbage was soft without being overcooked or mushy.

First, I am an experienced pressure cooker user. Instead of the bacon, I used 2 lbs smoked sausage. In the pressure cooker, I sauteed the smoked sausage cut in rounds, 1 chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic and spices that I like and then mixed in the cabbage. I like the pot juices over my cabbage and cornbread, so I used 1 cup homemade stock and 1 c water. With smoked sausage, I like my cabbage softer so I cooked about 7 minutes and quick cooled my pressure cooker. I saw where one users cabbage stuck and burnt. If you're new to pressure cooking and regulating, sometimes it is best to use a bit more liquid as you may be losing liquid as steam escapes your PC.

I gave the original recipe 4 stars because it’s super easy and tasty. With a few additions, it is even better. I used 3 strips of bacon (left over from another recipe) and then tossed in a ring of kielbasa to brown, along with a large sliced onion. As per others, I added a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce and also a few shakes of herbs de Provence. I also only used one cup of broth and that seemed a bit much at the end so I let it simmer with the lid off for about half an hour to reduce. Flavor was fantastic!

I'm new to cooking with a pressure cooker/quick cooker since Christmas. Great recipe. I skipped the bacon step and added half of a small ham to simmer along with the cabbage. Ready in 6 minutes, like magic. Ham was fork tender while cabbage was delish (used 2 cups of water with 2 teaspoons of Better Than Bullion (chicken flavor). My only regret...I wish I'd used a bigger head of cabbage to make more!

I made this in my instant pot and it was delicious. I used smoked turkey sausage instead of bacon and did what another reader did— browned the pieces in butter, Worcestershire sauce and garlic. I used only 1 can of broth. My husband really liked it too and this meal was low carb for his diabetes. We both thought it was very good.

Added garlic (because I add garlic to just about anything) and threw in some chopped green onions I had to use. 1 cup stock and 8 min in my digital pressure cooker. Hubby says "real good" and I liked it too! I also sprinkled with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Great quick supper!

Quick and easy recipe to make for cabbage. Pretty tasty, but would have been to bland for our liking as written. Made this in the Instant Pot and next time would reduce the amount of broth to 1 or 1.5 cups. I would also cook the bacon in the IP and remove it from the pot to add back in once the cabbage is done. I couldn't resist adding more seasoning and sprinkled in some garlic and onion powder. Next time, I would saute some onion and garlic in the bacon grease before adding the cabbage. Overall, this is a good recipe for cabbage that is easy to tweak to your taste preference. Thanks for the recipe!

Had half a left over green cabbage that I needed to use up, so sauteed Field Roast sausage (vegan) in some olive oil, and then threw in the cabbage with half a cup of veggie stock. 3 minutes in the Instant Pot, quick release of pressure, and seasoned, to taste with salt, pepper, turmeric, garlic, and a Trader Joe's blend. DELICIOUS.

Don't you love no brainers!! I made this a one pot meal. I used garlic, 2 bay leaves, carrots, onions, potatoes, leftover ham & cabbage and of course home made chicken broth. I also make my broth in PC using rotisserie chicken carcasses. Rotisserie ckns make a much more flavorful broth. This makes a great one pot meal in 6 minutes. I also make this with smoked polish.

Added caraway seeds, garlic powder, Johnsonville bratwurst (browned with onions). No bacon.

Good. Added pepper flakes to give it extra kick.

I added bacon fat and Conecuh sausage. brown the sausage first. added as much cabbage as my 6qt could take. thanks

Being from nc bacon is excellent to but main one my way is cut up country ham sear it then toss it with cabbage while also adding salt pepper and if your like me some Lowrys then add water then hit steam function on pressure cooker I go beyond setting is 8 minutes I do 15 maybe 20

Great improvement / modification by drizzling a little balsamic vinegar on top of your individual bowl. Was good as is, slightly al dente by following recipe.

Needs a few spices to ramp up the flavor. One of my favorites for winter time.

I added a handful of frozen onions and peppers and cooked my bacon till almost crisp. Then added sausage, and a can of chicken stock and pressure cooked in a ninja xl for 10 minutes..turned out great…I fried out a can of corned beef hash separately to put on top. One pot meal with cornbread.

I did not have bacon so instead added ham. Usually, I make cabbage and the leftovers go into the fridge until they are thrown out. Leftovers did not go to waste and the family is asking me to make it again.

Additionally Added 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke, 1 tsp kitchen bouquet, and tsp red pepper flakes. We like it with a little spice

Fantastic! My kids love it too!
