Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6-8 hours
Total Time: Approximately 6 hours 10 minutes to 8 hours 10 minutes
Yield: Varies depending on the size of the brisket
Ingredients:
- Beef brisket (size depending on the number of servings desired)
- Your favorite BBQ sauce (amount depending on personal preference and size of brisket)
- Buns for serving
Instructions:
Preparation:
- Trim any excess fat from the brisket if necessary. If the brisket is too large for your slow cooker, you might need to cut it into smaller pieces.
Layer in Slow Cooker:
- Place the beef brisket into the slow cooker.
Add BBQ Sauce:
- Pour your chosen BBQ sauce over the brisket, ensuring it’s well coated. Use a brush or the back of a spoon to spread the sauce evenly over the meat.
Slow Cook:
- Cover and set your slow cooker to the low setting. Let the brisket cook undisturbed for 6-8 hours. The longer it cooks, the more tender it will become.
Shred and Serve:
- Once the brisket is fully cooked and tender, use two forks to shred it inside the slow cooker. Mix the shredded meat well with the sauce.
- Serve the BBQ brisket piled high on buns. Optional toppings include coleslaw, pickles, or caramelized onions.
Tips:
- Consider using a smoky BBQ sauce for added depth of flavor.
- For a spicier kick, mix some hot sauce or red pepper flakes into the BBQ sauce before adding to the brisket.
- The shredded BBQ brisket can also be served over nachos, inside tacos, or as a topping for baked potatoes.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving.
