Prep

Begin by chopping your onions and either quartering or shredding your cabbage (unless you purchased pre-chopped cabbage).

Saute bacon in your instant pot and save 1 Tbsp of the grease or bake it in the oven.

Assemble

Turn the pressure cooker to Saute high. Once heated, add the bacon grease (or the butter).

Add the sliced onion to the pot and saute it in the grease until cooked through and soft. This should take about 6-7 minutes.

Press the Cancel button to stop the Saute function.

Add in the chicken broth, 4 slices of crumbled bacon, salt, and pepper.

Fill the instant pot with sliced cabbage sections or shredded cabbage. You can add cabbage all the way up to the top of the pot. Be sure not to pack it in, but loosely adding the cabbage to the top of the pot is just fine.

Put the lid on the pressure cooker.

Pressure Cook

Set the pot to Pressure Cook (or Manual) High for 4 minutes.

Once the pot is done pressure cooking, let the instant pot cabbage natural release for 5 minutes before doing a quick release of the remaining pressure.

Stir all ingredients together and serve.

Add additional bacon as a garnish, if desired. Season to taste.

Serves 8 side dish portions.

Recipe Tips

  • For best flavor, saute your onions in bacon grease.
  • If you are pressed for time, you can easily omit the bacon. Simply saute your onions, add your cabbage, and cook. Perfect for those times you simply want a cabbage side.
  • Shredded cabbage will pressure cook in just 4 minutes. However, if you are using cabbage quarters you are going to want to increase your cook time to 5 minutes.
  • This dish reheats well, so don't be afraid of making a large batch and eating leftovers.
