Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you make cooking so fast and easy.
I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.
This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

Rhonda says
I don’t have an instant pot and can’t afford one. How could you make this in a crock pot? ?????
Carrie says
Yes, you can definitely make this one in the crock pot. Put all the ingredients in the crock pot and cook on low for approximately 9-10 hours. Thanks!
Michaella Bascar says
What about 4# of beef
Matt says
I cut the paprika, salt, and bbq sauce in half. It came out perfect, but adjust to your own tastes. There’s probably a lot of room for adjustment on those.
After cooking, I put the brisket on a cutting board and dumped the liquid into a separate bowl. After shredding, I put the meat back in the pot and added about a cup or so of the liquid back to the meat. Left it on warm.
Everyone complimented the result. Easy recipe and I love that the author knows that searing and rubbing ingredients in is basically pointless for a shredded brisket.
Nicole A says
I also adjusted some ingredients, halved the barbecue sauce, chilli powder, salt because I thought that would best suit our tastes and this was amazing. I think this is a great flexible recipe.
Carrie says
Thanks for sharing!
Dan says
The recipe calls for i.2 chopped onions. Is that 1.2 cup? I’m not sure how to calculate .2 onions. I know it’s probably a dumb question but I’m new to this. Sorry
Carrie says
Sorry for the confusion. It’s 1/2 Onion, chopped – I’ll update the recipe. Thank you!
Jennifer says
Do you think it would fit in a 6 qt if the recipe were doubled? I’ll be cooking for around 10 adults. Thank you!
Carrie says
Yes, I think so. I would probably cut the 2 briskets into smaller pieces just so it would call fit and make sure that they are fully thawed out before adding to the crock pot. Let me know how it turns out!
