Beef Brisket in the Slow Cooker
Simply Recipes / Mihaela Kozaric Sebrek
This longtime reader favorite easy beef baked brisket has a slow cooker option. Skip the added water—the brisket will release plenty of its liquid—and use just the soy sauce and barbecue sauce. Add the brisket to the slow cooker and pour the soy-BBQ mix on top. Cover and cook for up to eight hours on low. We don't recommend cooking brisket on high in the slow cooker.
