Start out with a cheaper cut of meat, and put it in the crock pot overnight with seasonings of your choice. Cook all night long on low. To help tenderize, you can add a can of Coke or some Molasses or citrus juice.

First thing after breakfast, tear up meat into small pieces (it will fall apart) and toss it in a large stewpot with taters, carrots, corn, peas, green beans, chopped onions, mushrooms, etc. Let the whole concoction simmer on low all day....good for lunch and supper.

I know it sounds like a lot of stuff, but if you do this on a large scale (we use a 5 gallon stock pot), you can freeze some....and it goes a long, long ways.

Just be forewarned......it will make your entire house smell yummy, and you will find yourself "sampling" the product all day long.

Yummy, sounds great!
