Instant Pot Grandma Lil's Stuffed Cabbage

1 large head of cabbage (get one that will fit your Instant Pot), steamed with leaves peeled and remaining core chopped

5 medium yellow onions; ⅔ of one grated for the meat mixture, the remaining 4 chopped into chunks for the sauce mixture

2 lbs of ground beef (85% - 90% lean)

1 egg

½ cup of either long grain white or brown rice, cooked according to instructions (optional, it’s really just a texture thing)

A few pinches of black pepper

A few pinches of kosher salt

1 tsp of crushed or minced garlic

Two 46 oz cans of tomato juice

6 oz can of tomato paste

3 fresh lemons, squeezed and juiced

4 tbsp of white granulated sugar

1 tbsp of Crisco (I don’t know exactly why my grandma added it, but she did, so we do too ?)
