Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
While my kids were in high school, I spent a lot of time in the costume shop at the school. One of my favorite things about it was the opportunity it gave me to meet some of the other moms of my children’s friends.
And it never fails, when moms get together, the conversation always makes it around to, “So what are you having for dinner?” I love to ask that question. I have gotten a lot of great new recipes by asking it.
Today’s recipe is one that I got from a costume shop conversation back in 2009! Here is why you will love it too:

Ingredients Needed

- Spicy brown mustard or mustard of choice
- Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- Water
How to Make Brisket in the Crock Pot
- Place your brisket in the crock pot.
- Squirt mustard over the top. I like to use a Spicy Brown Mustard but Cindy, who gave me the recipe, used regular old yellow mustard. I don’t even measure I just squirt it over the top.
- Mix one package of Lipton’s Onion Soup Mix with one cup of water and pour liquid over brisket
- Cook on low for 8 hours until fork tender!
- Cut into slices or shred with two forks.
And that is it – a delicious slow cook crockpot brisket!
