My family can't wait for dinner when I serve my tasty cabbage rolls. The dish comes together in a pinch and always satisfies. —Lynn Bowen, Geraldine, Alabama

Ingredients

12 cabbage leaves
1 cup cooked brown rice
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water, divided
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

In batches, cook cabbage in boiling water 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain; cool slightly. Trim the thick vein from the bottom of each cabbage leaf, making a V-shaped cut.
In a large bowl, combine rice, onion, egg, milk, salt and pepper. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Place about 1/4 cup beef mixture on each cabbage leaf. Pull together cut edges of leaf to overlap; fold over filling. Fold in sides and roll up.
Place trivet insert and 1/2 cup water in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Set 6 rolls on trivet, seam side down. In a bowl, mix tomato sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce; pour half the sauce over cabbage rolls. Top with remaining rolls and sauce.
Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 15 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Press cancel. A thermometer inserted in beef should read at least 160°.
Remove rolls to a serving platter; keep warm. Remove trivet. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and remaining 2 tablespoons water until smooth; stir into pressure cooker. Select saute setting and adjust for low heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 1-2 minutes. Serve with rolls.

Really tasty! I think next time, I'll soften the onions in a pan before I incorporate them into the mixture, but overall it was fantastic!
