Preparation

2h 40 mins

Place the meat, one of the onions, half of the bell peppers, and 2 of the garlic cloves in a covered cast iron pot. Add the water and bay leaf. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat (with the pot covered). Once it boils, cook on low heat for 2 hours until the meat is tender. Slice the remaining onion and bell peppers thinly, place them in a skillet with the Italian dressing, and mix everything well. Cook, stirring frequently over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Drain the meat mixture and reserve 1/2 cup of the liquid; place the meat in a deep dish. Shred the meat with two forks, add it to the vegetable mixture in the skillet, mix everything well, and cook for 2 minutes. Incorporate the remaining liquid along with the remaining ingredients, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5 more minutes, or until heated through.
