This was soooooo good!! Very customizable which my family loved! It did need quite a bit more beef stock tho and made probably close to 8 servings.

Not sure why I have never thought to make this as a one pot meal before since I make the components separately pretty often and then make bowls. The one pot makes it so much easier and it takes even better. Yum!

This has become a regular meal for us, and we can usually make it stretch two meals for our family.

My family loves this! However I made it even simpler i used brisket and threw everything in a cast iron pot and cooked in the oven on 150 for 4 hours – shred it up then let it rest for 30 mins before severing.
