Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef*
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 cups coarsely chopped cabbage
  • 1 6 ounce can tomato paste
  • 1 28 ounce can diced or crushed tomatoes
  • 32 ounces beef broth
  • cup long grain white rice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • teaspoon crushed red pepper optional

Instructions

  • Turn your 6 quart or larger electric pressure cooker to the "Saute" setting and brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic making sure to break the meat up into small pieces as it cooks. Once the ground beef is completely browned, press the cancel button on the cooker. If there is an excess amount of grease from the beef, drain it off before continuing.
  • Add the seasonings, tomato paste, diced tomatoes and beef broth to the cooker.
  • Next add the rice and cabbage, stirring everything to make sure it's well combined.
  • Put the lid on and make sure the vent is set to the "seal" position. Cook on Manual pressure for 5 minutes.
  • After the timer has gone off, let the steam naturally release for 10 minutes before releasing any remaining steam with a quick release.

  • Stove top instructions: You can also easily make this on the stove top instead. To make it on the stove top, just brown your ground beef with onions and garlic. Drain any excess grease. Add the remaining ingredients and bring it to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and allow it to simmer for 25 minutes or until your rice is tender and so is the cabbage.

Notes

*Ground pork, ground turkey, and ground venison all work well in this recipe in place of the ground beef.
