Slow Cooker BBQ Beef Brisket turns simple ingredients into a tender, smoky-sweet masterpiece. Perfect for busy nights, gatherings, or delicious leftovers!
Ingredients
2 to 3 pounds beef brisket
1 Tablespoon dried thyme leaves
1 Tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup water
1 ½ teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring
3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 bottle (18 ounces) barbecue sauce
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine thyme, paprika, black pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Rub this spice mix all over the brisket.
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of a 7-quart slow cooker. Place the seasoned brisket inside.
Pour liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce over the brisket.
Cover and cook on Low heat for 8 to 10 hours until the brisket is very tender.
Carefully remove the brisket to a platter. Skim off and discard any fat from the bottom of the brisket. Shred the brisket using two forks.
Return the shredded brisket to the slow cooker and pour in the barbecue sauce. Stir gently to coat.
Cover and cook on Low for an additional 30 minutes until heated through.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For extra smoky flavor, add a few more drops of liquid smoke, but go lightly—this stuff is potent!
Great for sandwiches, tacos, or over mashed potatoes.
Leftovers taste even better the next day.
