This is a really smart idea for brisket. Since I was in a rush Friday morning, I just went the lazy route. I used a large crock pot, added the brisket. along with 1 1/2 cups of beef broth, 4 garlic cloves, 1 T. worcestershire, 2 t. kitchen bouquet, salt and pepper. This cooked for 11 hours on low and was super delicious. Again, great idea for a brisket.

Fixed this exactly as written, and it was DELICIOUS!! My husband and I loved it, but our 11-year old did think it was a little too spicy due to the cayenne pepper - I scraped the sauce off the meat and she gobbled it up (and she usually does not like meat or BBQ sauce). I marinated the brisket in the dry rub overnight. DO NOT mix it with the sauce as some of the other reviewers did - it's best as a marinade to soak into the meat. I sliced the meat and placed it back into the crock pot for the last hour. It made the meat very moist, juicy, and full of flavor. The type of BBQ sauce you use will definitely make a difference. I used Dinosaur Original BBQ sauce (which you probably won't find unless you live in upstate NY) - it's a redder BBQ sauce, unlike Jack Daniels or KC Masterpiece which are smokier. It was PERFECT. Thanks Shannon!

I love the crockpot, but for brisket, it limits the size. Try the same recipe but put it in a slow (200 degrees) oven. Cover it tightly with foil. Should be ready in six hours or more.

OMG! This was amazing! I made this for 2 people and we had enough leftovers for 3 days. The only changes I made was that I used 4lbs of brisket instead of 3lbs, and kept everything else the same as the recipe calls for. We both loved this and can't wait to make it again!

Pretty good recipe. Sauce was very flavorful and meat was tender. Next time I will try to braise in the oven to get rid of that "crock pot taste". Will make again

I am so glad that someone has furnished a rub or seasoning that is not a purchased already prepared dry soup mix or a can of soup. There are way too much preseratives, sodium, msg, etc in those for it to be healty so when I see those recipes, I have to either pass on them or make adjustments. Thanks again for this recipe.

Oh man, this super easy recipe nailed the BBQ flavor! It was also awesome to leave the house at 8:00 a.m. for a busy day knowing that I'd already prepared the birthday dinner I was serving in the evening. Once I got home, I only had about 10 minutes of work left shredding the meat and toasting the buns. It was a big hit.

Followed recipe exactly. Took one bite and could eat no more. It had a strange bitter taste. I admit to being picky about food, but I would nevrer serve this to a guest. Or, maybe I am just used to eating the excellent smoked brisket that is readily available here in Texas.
