June 17, 2019 at 12:32 pmThis was amazing!! I had only eaten cabbage and sausage one other time in my life before cooking your recipe last week and this was my first time to cook it. It was amazing!! My husband and I both really enjoyed it. My daughter finally tasted it and she even said it was good, (she is VERY picky!) We are having it again this week. It will be a regular in our house from now on!
Thanks so much for sharing!!

January 5, 2019 at 4:58 pmThis was so delicious! I simmered it for about 10 minutes on low after following your instructions. I have 2 teenage boys and they loved it too! My husband said, “definitely a keeper!” , just like all the IP recipes I’ve tried of yours. Thanks, Jill! I love your recipes!
Jill says

April 15, 2019 at 4:58 pmI haven’t made this yet waiting for a reply. I’m not a good cook and need direction!
Jill says
April 15, 2019 at 5:53 pmHi Pam. A can of diced tomatoes is perfect. Jill
Rich D. says
October 21, 2018 at 2:32 pmThis recipe is ridiculously good. Everyone loves it including our children that are not too fond of cabbage. I’ve made this several times in the past year. It was long overdue to review the recipe and say thank you!
Jill says
October 21, 2018 at 7:22 pmThanks, Rich. Always a plus when the kids are happy with dinner. Jill

September 9, 2018 at 12:53 pmIf I want to double the recipe does the cook time change?
Valerie Singley says
August 31, 2018 at 5:54 pmWow! I was given a cabbage a few days ago. I told my friend that I wasn’t really a fan of cabbage but maybe I could find a good recipe for my instant pot. Oh my……………………….I not only found a good one I found one that was out of this world awesome!!!!!
Pam Barber says
August 20, 2018 at 8:03 pmSaw this recipe today, and since I had all of the ingredients on hand, made it tonight for dinner., it was delicious just as written, 1 minute was perfect! A definite keeper! Thank you!

March 4, 2018 at 6:05 pmThis recipe is one of my favorites. When searching Google for my instant pot recipes I always look for a version from “thisoldgal”. She is always spot on and I know I’ll end up with something delicious. To this one I added a table spoon of Apple Cider Vinegar. The little bit of acidity opens up the other flavors. Check out her yogurt recipe too. I use it weekly and I have never had a bad batch. Thanks!
Bill says
February 6, 2018 at 4:28 pmNice variation on traditional cabbage and sausage. I added potatoes for a complete meal and Increased time To 3min.
Lynne says
January 1, 2018 at 3:09 pmThis is a great recipe! Thank you for sharing it. I used honey garlic Italian sausage and it turned out amazing. I will definitely be making this again.
Jill says
January 2, 2018 at 11:46 amThat sounds fabulous, Lynne. Jill
Lynne says
December 30, 2017 at 5:47 amI wonder about making this with honey garlic Italian sausage.
Rita Kohms says
November 29, 2017 at 11:55 pmI made this tonight using coconut oil since that’s my oil of preference these days.. The only thing I changed was I added red chili flakes because I love a little spicy. It was delicious! Thank you for this incredibly easy, super fast recipe – BONUS!
Jill says
November 30, 2017 at 12:43 amSo glad you enjoyed. Jill
Peggy says
November 21, 2017 at 8:27 amDelicious! This was the first think I made in my new Instant Pot. Very pleased with your directions.
Jill says
November 21, 2017 at 1:36 pmThank you, Peggy. Jill
Diane says
November 21, 2017 at 5:39 amThis cabbage recipe is, well, beautiful!
At 56 yrs of age, I’ve not enjoyed cabbage quite like this! The acidity of the tomatoes with the fragrant turmeric just made it for me!
I actually left the sausage out bc we do not eat pork, but I replace regular salt with Applewood smoked salt, to make up for the sausage flavor!
Vegetarian/vegan version is awesome!
This will be a staple in my home!!
Thank you!

October 10, 2017 at 6:18 pmThis was delicious, quick, and relatively inexpensive to make. I reduced the fat, down to 1 tablespoon, and it still cooked up delicious.
Thank you!
Jill says

Chris says
May 9, 2017 at 10:55 amJust one minute, for sure?
Mike Hennes says
May 2, 2017 at 7:45 amFinally a cook who can make something. I made your Sausage & cabbage last night with a few tweaks and it was great. I added caroway seeds & red pepper flakes to it whil cooking & golden paste & cooked rice after it was done. So refreshing to get a good recipe for a change, every clown with a crayon & internet access is posting crap. No matter what its final outcome its supposed to be its almost alway flavorless soupy mush. This include the smantzy cookbook I ordered.
TOG keep on cooking I will be making more of your recipies
Jill says
May 3, 2017 at 2:33 amHi Mike~
I am so glad you are enjoying my recipes. Thank you very much. I’ve been using pressure cookers for many years; unfortunately, many people posting recipes lately are very new to pressure cooking. Jill
Susan says
April 26, 2017 at 5:03 pmHi! I’ve seen lots of your recipes floating around IP community on FB, and I’ve marked several to try since everyone is ravig about them. :-). Quick question about the cabbage in this recipe: only 1 minute? When I made cabbage on its own to go with my corned beef I want to say that it cooked for at least 5-7 minutes. I plan on cooking it in Guinness and using kielbasa, but using your method. Suggestions? Many thanks!
Susan
Kathy H says
January 8, 2018 at 9:45 amYou can always check it after 1 min & add more time. The IP comes back to pressure way faster second time around. If you are at a higher altitude (like me I am at 4800) you may have to cook longer. Hope this helps you or someone else.
Mo says
January 8, 2018 at 4:04 pmI cooked cabbage and sausage 5-7 min and was delish!
Holly Rohrbach says
February 22, 2017 at 1:18 pmI have fresh sausage, not precooked. Should I brown the sausage and then cook it with the cabbage for the one minute or add some extra time?
