Instant Pot Kielbasa and Cabbage
Sometimes I don’t have enough time for our favorite Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Cabbage recipe, so I wanted to share a really quick Instant Pot version – that tastes just like the crockpot but so much faster!
All you need to is chop up the kielbasa, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and onions, and then add those along with the other ingredients to the Instant Pot. Close the lid and let it do all the work for 15 minutes! Soon you’ll have a very delicious dinner ready to be served!
I hope you love this easy Instant Pot meal!
You can serve this as is, but my family prefers it served over white rice or egg noodles for a full meal.
Instant Pot Cabbage Recipe Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need for this Instant Pot Cabbage recipe:
- cabbage
- potatoes
- carrots
- onion
- beef kielbasa
- chicken broth
- salt & pepper
- brown sugar
- minced garlic
How to Make in the Instant Pot
Chop up the kielbasa and vegetables.
Add all of the ingredients into the Instant Pot and stir.
Close lid and cook on HIGH pressure.
Release pressure using the quick-release method. This takes about 3-5 minutes.
Serve as is, or with rice or egg noodles.
Can this be prepped ahead of time?
Absolutely, you can chop up the kielbasa and vegetables, keeping them in the fridge overnight. Cutting up the vegetables takes the most time so I often do this when I’m doing meal prep for the week.
Potatoes are the tricky part because they turn brown when chopped up. For the potatoes, you have 2 options:
- Skip the potatoes and chop them up when you’re ready to cook this meal. This will only take 1-2 minutes and is much quicker than having to chop up everything.
- Cut them up but keep the potatoes submerged in water in the refrigerator, for up to 1 day in advance. Keeping them covered in water will prevent them from browning. When ready to use, drain them and proceed as normal.

Definitely making again. Used a bag of mini potatoes halved and a bag of coleslaw mix for additional time saving. High pressure for 5 minutes and quick release right away. A little sour cream on top – was freakin delicious.
Lora Cornelius says
I enjoyed this recipe. I will be making it again! I omitted the potatoes and ate it alone without the noodles or the rice. I plan to add to my recipe rotation. Thank you very much for sharing with us!

DO NOT COOK THIS FOR 15 MINUTES. After reading the reviews I figured I’d start with 5 minutes and go from there. Good thing I did, the cabbage was mushy. The flavor was great. I added the crushed red pepper which gave it a little kick.
Shilo says
I love the taste of this recipe however the cabbage is too mushy. I’ve made this twice now. The first time I followed the timing on the recipe. This time I only did 10 minutes and it was still too mushy. Next time I think I’ll try 5 minutes.
