Deconstructed Instant Pot "Stuffed" Cabbage

I don't know why I love stuffed cabbage so much. The little cabbage burritos used to have hidden toothpicks to keep the cabbage from sliding off the hamburger packets. The cabbage leaves are cooked separately. Right there that is a lot of work, but I love the texture of hamburger and rice in a soft blanket of cabbage topped with lots of silky tomato sauce. I also like it because like liver and onions, I do not make it so I appreciate it more.

This Instant Pot recipe has all the feels without the work.
