Crock Pot Barbecue Beef Brisket

It seems that Friday rolls around pretty fast. :-) So, here with our Crock Pot recipe this week is Nancy from Real Food Allergy Free. I’ve been craving beef like crazy this pregnancy, so this recipe is right up my alley! 

 

 

“This is the best brisket I’ve ever eaten, and I’m 50 years old!”   That’s what a guest said when I served this slow cooker barbecue beef brisket earlier this week.

Brisket is a very tough meat, but it becomes moist and tender when slow cooked in a crock-pot.

Try not to drool as it cooks.  The seasonings and spices in this recipe will have your house smelling amazing!

Ingredients:

  • 2 -3 lbs Beef Brisket
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

  • 1/2 cup Ketchup

    I make this often & LOVE it! My husband asks for it all the time. It’s a go-to meal whenever company is in town or I make a meal for another family (and everyone always loves it!).
    The recipe I have is a little different as it calls for chili sauce and liquid smoke, but no apple cider vinegar.

    I have a really dumb question. Does beef brisket go by other names sometimes? Because I don’t think I’ve ever seen “brisket” in a store around here. And I really want to try this recipe because it sounds amazing!

    This sounds so good. I usually cook brisket in the oven, but with it being so hot here (93+), the pot would do the trick with out heating up the house!
    On another note, (not being snarky,just concerned) I wonder if Nancy knows that Wrocestershire Sauce contains Anchovies. There is an allergy warning on the lable.

    Thanks for sharing this recipe, I made it on Friday. Very easy to put together and was as tasty as you said. Mine ended up cooking on low for about 13 hours, I love crock pot cooking!

    Your crock pot brisket does sound so delicious! I really like the ingredients you used in your sauce. No wonder your guest said what she did!

    Hi Stacy,
    The rub for your Brisket looks very good and what a great idea to cook it in the Crock Pot. I will have to try this sometime. Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
    Come Back Soon!
