Recipe Tuesday

Beef Brisket is an inexpensive piece of meat, that is full of flavor but extremely tough when not prepared properly.

Today recipe uses the Crock Pot or Slow Cooker.    As a busy person, who has their fingers in so many different things, this kitchen appliance is one of my favorites!

Slow-Cooked Barbecued Beef Brisket

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon celery seed

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 fresh beef brisket (2 1/2 pounds), trimmed

Sauce

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup chili sauce

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons Liquid smoke, optional

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

In small bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients; rub over brisket.   Place in a 3 quart slow cooker.

In a large bowl, combine the sauce ingredients.   Pour half over the brisket, set the remaining sauce aside.

Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until meat is tender. 

  Serve with reserved sauce
