Delicious Instant Pot Cabbage Roll Bake: A Savory Twist

  • Total Time
    1 hrs 5 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 lb of ground turkey meat
  • 2/3 cup of finely chopped onions
  • A large cabbage head, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • A can of Italian-style diced tomatoes (28 oz)
  • A can of chicken broth (14.5 oz)
  • 3/4 cup of water
  • 3/4 cup of uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp of dried basil (divided)
  • 1/2 tsp of salt
  • 1/2 tsp of ground black pepper
  • 2 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese (divided)
  • A can of tomato sauce (15 oz)
  • 1 tsp of white sugar

Step 1

Begin by activating a versatile pressure cooker, such as the Instant Pot, and opt for the Saute function. Sizzle up some turkey and onion until they turn golden brown and the onion becomes see-through, a delightful process that takes around 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2

Introduce cabbage, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, water, rice, Worcestershire sauce, a spoonful of basil, salt, and pepper into the mix. Stir occasionally as the flavors meld together and the mixture gently simmers for another 5 to 7 minutes. Keep an eye on the liquid level, ensuring it doesn't surpass the maximum fill line for a perfect dish.

Step 3

Seal the lid securely and engage the high-pressure setting as per the manufacturer's guidelines, setting the timer for a quick 5-minute countdown. Allow some time, approximately 10 to 15 minutes, for the pressure to build up while the delightful aroma begins to fill your kitchen.

Step 4

As the cabbage and rice concoction works its magic in the cooker, take a moment to preheat your oven to a cozy 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for the finishing touch.

Step 5

When the time is right, release the pressure through the natural method, giving it about 8 minutes to unwind. Follow up with a quick-release technique by gently nudging the steam release knob towards the venting position, releasing the remaining pressure in gentle bursts to ensure safety.

Step 6

Unlock the lid of your Instant Pot and gently fold in a generous cup of Cheddar cheese for that extra touch of creamy goodness.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, blend together tomato sauce, sugar, and the remainder of the basil. Spread half of this savory sauce in a 9x13-inch baking dish, then layer on the flavorful cabbage-rice mixture followed by a drizzle of the remaining sauce. Sprinkle over the final layer of Cheddar cheese for that irresistible cheesy finish.

Step 8

Slide your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake until warmed through, a tantalizing process that usually takes about 25 to 30 minutes. Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you eagerly anticipate the delicious results.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep it Fresh : Store any leftover Instant Pot Cabbage Roll Bake in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and flavor.
  2. 2. Freeze for Later : For a quick and easy meal prep option, portion out the Cabbage Roll Bake into individual servings and freeze them. Just defrost and reheat when you're ready to eat!
