Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Brisket

on

 This BBQ Beef Brisket recipe makes the most tender and flavorful brisket as it slow cooks all day! It’s the only brisket recipe you’ll ever need!

I’m starting to call my ‘crock pot’ recipes now ‘slow cooker’ recipes. I learned in a blog workshop I went to that “Crock Pot” is a product name so I shouldn’t use it in my recipe titles. I have always called my slow cookers “crock pots” (and all my slow cookers are the Crock Pot brand) so this is new for me. haha. Just FYI.

I am SO excited to share this recipe today. This Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Brisket is one you need to make immediately, my friends. Tender and flavorful beef that slow cooks all day. It is incredibly easy and incredibly delicious!
There are a lot of different ways you could serve this wonderful beef. Make it with nachos, tacos, sandwiches. You could also serve it with sides of baked beans and cornbread. Yum. Just thinking about all the options is making me hungry. 🙂 

We went the sandwich route and man was it good!
