Slow Cooker Beef Brisket with BBQ Sauce

I would reduce one or more of the pepper elements.

Make this a lot! It's a great crockpot recipe. Quick to put together before I head to work and ready when I get home. I replace the ketchup with BBQ sauce for a smoke flavor and use smoked paprika if I have it to hand. I use it as my go to for bao buns for an easy week night dinner! Fill buns with meat, a squirt of kewpie mayo, cucumber, pickled red onion and some lettuce - yum!

Due to time constraints, we did the instant pot version— nervously, but it turned out great! Added about 3 tbs of liquid smoke to the water at bottom of pot before starting. Charring on the grill was a little difficult but we managed. Instead of the homemade bbq sauce we did some store bought and spooned in some of the juice from the pot to thin it down and used as glaze after the fact.

Amazing!!!!! I would make this again and again! Best bbq restaurant is at my house!

Sauce - In a pinch I subbed 1cup tomato passata, 1tb heaped Tom.paste,1tsp soy sauce,1/2 tsp cayenne

Absolutely fantastic. Did this in a Dutch oven for 4 hours and it was so tender.

The family loved this! It was falling apart tender and the flavor was great.

Made in my instant pot. Browned meat first and deglazed pot with extra cup of water. Meat needs to cool down significantly in order to slice and sauce needs to have fat removed. Will definitely make again.

This recipe gave me a really tender brisket and the bbq was great. Had to remove a lot of fat from the bbq sauce with ice cubes and ladling.
