Slow Cooker Beef Brisket (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Meat

01 - 1 Beef Brisket

→ Dry Rub

02 - 1 teaspoon salt
03 - 1 teaspoon chili powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
06 - 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
07 - 1/4 teaspoon pepper

→ Sauce

08 - 1/2 cup ketchup
09 - 1/2 cup chili sauce
10 - 1/8 cup packed brown sugar
11 - 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
12 - 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
13 - 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke (optional)
14 - 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
15 - A dash of A1 sauce

# Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, combine all dry rub ingredients. Thoroughly coat the brisket with the spice mixture.
02 - Place the seasoned brisket in a 3-qt. slow cooker. Allow it to rest for at least one hour. For enhanced flavor, refrigerate overnight to let the meat fully absorb the spices.
03 - In a large bowl, combine all sauce ingredients until well mixed. Pour half of the sauce over the brisket in the slow cooker, reserving the remaining sauce for serving.
04 - Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8 hours, until the meat becomes tender and easily pulls apart.
05 - Slice the brisket against the grain to ensure tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Serve with the reserved sauce on the side.

# Notes:

01 - For the most flavorful results, prepare the brisket with dry rub the night before cooking and refrigerate overnight.
