Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 lb beef brisket Look for a well-marbled cut for the best flavor.
  • 2 cup BBQ sauce Use your favorite brand or homemade.
  • 0.5 cup beef broth This enhances the meat's juiciness.
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder Feel free to adjust for more garlic flavor.
  • 1 tbsp onion powder Great for adding depth to the flavor.
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika This gives it a lovely smoky taste.
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar Balances out the flavors beautifully.
  • 1 tsp black pepper For a hint of spice.
  • 1 tsp salt Adjust according to your taste.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Start by combining the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Rub this spice mix all over the brisket, making sure to cover it thoroughly for maximum flavor.
  • Place the seasoned brisket in your slow cooker and pour in the BBQ sauce and beef broth. These liquids will help keep the meat moist and add an extra layer of flavor.
  • Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easily shredded with a fork. The longer it cooks, the more tender it will become.
  • Once ready, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain for the best texture.
  • Finally, drizzle the remaining sauce from the slow cooker over the sliced brisket for added moisture and flavor. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!
