Beef Brisket in Slow Cooker Recipe Tips

• For maximum flavor and tenderness use Certified Angus Beef® brand brisket. If you are unsure of where to purchase this brand, click here to search for a dealer near you.
• This recipe needs a good 10 hours in the slow cooker, so I like to put this in overnight and then keep warm until ready to use or reheat as needed. It tastes just as good, if not better, reheated.
• This is the slow cooker I use. It's inexpensive and gets the job done:

• Make your life easier with a fat separator. You will use it anytime you make a sauce or gravy that needs the fat removed. This is the one I use:

Beef Brisket cooked in a slow cooker with a homemade, tangy BBQ sauce and served over creamy, garlic mashed potatoes is one of my favorite comfort food recipes.

Ingredients

BBQ Sauce

• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 3 tbsps cider vinegar
• 3 tbsps Worcestershire sauce
• 1 minced jalapeno
• 4-5 whole garlic cloves
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Beef Brisket

• 1/8 cup paprika
• 1/2 tbsp chili powder
• 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/2 tbsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2.5 pound Certified Angus Beef® brand brisket

Instructions

1. Place 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup diced onion, 3 tbsps cider vinegar, 3 tbsps worcestershire sauce, 1 minced jalapeno, 4-5 whole garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp pepper in the slow cooker.
2. Mix together 1/8 cup paprika, 1/2 tbsp chili powder, 1/2 tbsp ground cumin, 1/2 tbsp brown sugar. 1/2 tbsp salt, 1/2 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, & 1/2 tsp pepper. Evenly rub the spice mixture on the 2.5 lb brisket to coat and place brisket in the BBQ sauce mixture in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until fork-tender, about 10 hours.
3. When the beef is fork tender, remove brisket to a cutting board. Pour BBQ sauce into fat separator and then pour the sauce (minus the fat) into a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced by about half & thickened. This will take about 10 mins. Shred the meat with 2 forks and serve with the BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
