Crock Pot Barbecue Beef Brisket

It seems that Friday rolls around pretty fast. 🙂 So, here with our Crock Pot recipe this week is Nancy from Real Food Allergy Free. I’ve been craving beef like crazy this pregnancy, so this recipe is right up my alley! 

“This is the best brisket I’ve ever eaten, and I’m 50 years old!” That’s what a guest said when I served this slow cooker barbecue beef brisket earlier this week.

Brisket is a very tough meat, but it becomes moist and tender when slow cooked in a crock-pot.

Try not to drool as it cooks. The seasonings and spices in this recipe will have your house smelling amazing!

Slow Cooker Barbecue Beef Brisket

Ingredients:

  • 2 -3 lbs Beef Brisket
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Celery Seed
  • 1/8 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Sucanat or  Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Dry Mustard

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl mix chili powder, garlic, crushed red pepper, celery seed and pepper and rub onto meat.
  2. Place meat in crock-pot.
  3. Mix ketchup, sucanat/sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and dry mustard and pour over meat.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
  5. Cut thin slices along the grain or just shred it.

Recipe adapted from Food.com

    Can I add a little bit of any bbq sauce to it or will it take over the taste of the sauce already on the brisket?

    Sounds fantastic. We just recently have been enjoying more crockpot beef. So easy and I love that you don’t have to babysit the pot.
    Thank you for the deliciousness

    Do you start with brisket that is thawed or can you use frozen?

      I have never used frozen, but I know some people do. If you use frozen, you’ll have to add more time.

    Dear Stacy,

    I, too, suffered severe eczema for 26 years – I am now nearly 32, and I am happy to say, that I am just about eczema free. I had it most severely on my face, neck, and shoulders. When I was 21, I discovered that I was allergic to tomatoes and rice….RICE! Removing the tomatoes from my diet absolutely changed my life, and my sister’s life (who also suffers eczema). It took about two years to really get into the having of ABSOLUTELY no tomato (the powder is in everything…) Removing rice helped even more – though I only needed to remove rice from my diet for about 8 months before the allergy was oddly able to heal itself.

    Try removing the tomato from all of your recipes. I’m working on a tomato-free blog and cook book.

    Good luck!

    Hi. How many servings is this? I would like to make for 6 adults and I just want to make sure that this will be enough. Thanks.

      You can count 3-4 servings per pound of meat. More if you count on using it as a sandwich filling. So, if you only used a 2 pound roast, you would have enough for 8 people. But, I would still aim for the 3 pound.

      I have not tried that – I do not think the result would be as good – I’m not sure it would shred well.

    Hi Stacy,
    The rub for your Brisket looks very good and what a great idea to cook it in the Crock Pot. I will have to try this sometime. Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
    Come Back Soon!

    This sounds so good. I usually cook brisket in the oven, but with it being so hot here (93+), the pot would do the trick with out heating up the house!
    On another note, (not being snarky,just concerned) I wonder if Nancy knows that Wrocestershire Sauce contains Anchovies. There is an allergy warning on the lable.

      Good grief! That’s HOT. When it’s that hot, I like putting my crock out on the back deck…but that doesn’t work if you have roaming neighborhood dogs. LOL
      And I had no idea about the anchovies…maybe she uses a different brand?

        May 25, 2012 at 2:48 pm

        Now putting the crock pot on the deck is a good idea, thanks! Can’t believe I never thought of that. We use the electric frying pan out there all the time to keep from making a greasy or smelly mess inside.

          I have a friend who grills her bacon in order to avoid the mess inside…I think I need an electric skillet for your idea!

    I have a really dumb question. Does beef brisket go by other names sometimes? Because I don’t think I’ve ever seen “brisket” in a store around here. And I really want to try this recipe because it sounds amazing!

      Anne, I’m really horrible at knowing the names of different cuts of meat. I usually just use whatever meat I have on hand, no matter what the recipe calls for. LOL

      Anne, I think brisket is just brisket. I would not have tried it if it hadn’t come with the 1/4 cow I bought. Now I look for it!

      About brisket cut. Just ask the butcher and he/she will lead you to it. Very cheap cut I think from the chest area but I could be wrong.
      I had a question too from the homemade Worchestershire sause recipe. What is Treacle?

      Thanks for the help

      Not a “dumb” question, just a question! Ask your butcher to cut you a brisket. That’s the only name for it as far as I know. If your Butcher looks at you kind of funny, move here to Texas.

    I make this often & LOVE it! My husband asks for it all the time. It’s a go-to meal whenever company is in town or I make a meal for another family (and everyone always loves it!).
    The recipe I have is a little different as it calls for chili sauce and liquid smoke, but no apple cider vinegar.
