Batch Cooking:
Here’s how it works. You make one huge batch of Beef Brisket. When the beef brisket is cooking, you prep for the other three meals:

• Shredded Beef with Cabbage
• Cumin Beef Cauliflower Rice Bowls
• Beef & Mushrooms with Cauliflower Potato Mash

Altogether, we’re talking one afternoon or morning in the kitchen and three meals (plus leftovers!) that will feed a family of four prepared as a result.
