It was not particularly noticeable but I was still glad for the little bit of onion flavor added.<\/p>\n<p>The recipe was really easy, put together in less than 5 minutes, and checked only occasionally over the hours it sat in the oven. The hardest part was using forks to shred the beef, but with the A\/C on, for me, it wasn\u2019t too bad to stick my face over the Dutch oven. Besides, if done right, the meat should shred with very little effort.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not usually a big beef person but this was a treat. We finished the 3 pounds we made in a few short days.
