Jul 17, Crock Pot Brisket - Almost Texas Barbeque Beef Brisket

This Crock Pot Brisket Recipe, even die hard Texans will have to agree, is on a par with traditional Texas barbeque beef brisket.

The dry rub for brisket in this recipe is the key.

The brisket is first given a generous lathering with liquid smoke and then rubbed with the dry rub. It's then slow simmered in the Crock Pot until it's juicy and tender.

Texans usually shun barbeque sauce but the amount of sauce in this crock pot brisket is just enough to give it a delicious bbq flavor while still maintaining the meaty flavor of the brisket.

Easy Day Barbeque Crock Pot BrisketIngredients

3 pounds beef brisket, trimmed of fat
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups barbeque sauce

Dry Rub For Brisket Ingredients

1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

Combine the dried thyme leaves, paprika, freshly ground blackpepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and ground cumin in a small bowl. Set the mixture aside.

Rub the beef brisket all over with liquid smoke and then rub with the spice mixture.

Pour the Worcestershire sauce and the barbeque sauce into a slow cooker. Place the beef brisket on top. Cover, and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or until the brisket is fork tender.

I encourage you to make this brisket recipe once just as it is. The liquid smoke amount is perfect. After that, if you must, make adjustments. However, you will not believe the smoky barbeque beef brisket flavor this recipe yields from a crock pot.

It's not often that you run across a recipe that's so good and yet so convenient.

Good to Know: Believe it or not it's possible to make this great recipe even better. After applying the dry rub for brisket wrap the meat in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it overnight.

The extra marinating time gives the brisket and even greater depth of flavor.

On Your Own: The size brisket called for in this recipe will easily fit in a smaller sized crock pot. However if you have a larger 6 quart crock Pot you might want to cook a larger brisket.

It freezes well if you have leftovers.
