Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Brisket

This Sweet and Sour Brisket is easy thanks to the slow cooker and delicious thanks to the sauce!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

The sauce for this sweet and sour brisket has vinegar and chili that give you a bit of tang and brown sugar and ketchup for a little sweet. Sweet and Sour is a perfect flavor combination in my book.

Also called Jewish Style Sweet and Sour Brisket, it is traditionally served for Rosh Hashanah and Passover.  But I hope it will become a year round favorite at your home like it has in ours.

Beef brisket is one of my favorite cuts of meat to use in the slow cooker. It turns out so tender and flavorful. You don’t have to brown the meat before hand either.  Just pop it in the slow cooker, cover it with the sauce and let it cook for about 9 hours on low. Or, you can turn it up to high for 5 to 6 hours. Because of its longer cooking time it makes the perfect thing to put in the slow cooker in the morning before a long, busy day.
