Slow Cooker Brisket Recipe - Tender beef slow-cooked to savory perfection and simmered in a homemade barbecue sauce that is bursting with flavor! It's comfort food at its finest, and the easiest way to enjoy mouthwatering brisket without the fuss. Serve it on sandwiches, pair it with your favorite sides, and savor the unbeatable flavors of slow-cooked goodness!
Trim any excess fat from the brisket. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, beef bouillon, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Season the brisket with the spice rub on all sides and place in a 6-qt crock pot.
Whisk together chili sauce, coca-cola, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Pour the sauce over the brisket and cover the slow cooker.
Cook on LOW heat for 8 hours, until the brisket is fork-tender. Cut the beef across the grain into slices or shred with two forks.
Notes:
When it comes to cooking brisket, the key is to go low and slow, especially if you've got the time to spare. That means gentle, low heat for an extended period – the longer, the better! This slow-cooking approach works its magic by slowly breaking down those stubborn connective tissues present in the meat. If you don't give it the time it deserves, you'll end up with a brisket that's tough and unpleasant to chew. So, take your time and savor the tender, melt-in-your-mouth results!
