Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient BBQ Beef Brisket

Instructions:

1. Place the beef brisket in the slow cooker with the fat side facing up.
2. In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, onion soup mix, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until well mixed.
3. Pour the sauce evenly over the brisket, making sure it is well coated.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender.
5. Remove the brisket and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice or shred, then spoon extra sauce over the top before serving.

Variations

• Use a smoky or spicy BBQ sauce for a different flavor profile.
• Add sliced onions to the slow cooker for extra depth.
• Stir a splash of apple cider vinegar into the sauce for brightness.
• Serve the brisket on toasted buns for easy BBQ sandwiches.

Tips

• Cooking on low yields the most tender brisket; avoid rushing it on high.
• Letting the meat rest helps retain juices before slicing.
• For a caramelized finish, brush sliced brisket with extra sauce and broil for a few minutes before serving.
• Leftovers reheat beautifully and make excellent sandwiches or tacos.
