Slow Cooker Brisket Recipe

  • In a small bowl, add brown sugar, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and coriander. Whisk until well combined.
  • Rub the dry rub all over the brisket and place in a 6-quart slow cooker. Then pour 1½ cups of BBQ sauce over the top.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  • Remove brisket and place on a baking sheet. Baste with reserved BBQ sauce and broil for 3-5 minutes or until sauce bubbles and caramelizes.
  • To serve, slice brisket thinly across the grain. It can be served alone or on a bun. Enjoy!

Notes

    • You’ll find some tougher, white fat on the inside and sides of the brisket. This fat won’t melt while cooking, so it’s a good idea to cut it off. Plus, taking it out helps the meat absorb the Brisket Rub and flavors.
  • Enhance your slow cooker’s flavor profile by incorporating wood chips such as hickory, mesquite, or applewood for a smoky twist.
  • For oven preparation, choose either a tightly covered baking dish with foil or a Dutch oven. Cook at 325°F for 3 to 4 hours until it becomes exceptionally tender.
