Notes

Sear First for Flavor: If you have a little extra time, browning the brisket in a hot skillet with some oil before adding it to the slow cooker adds a deep, caramelized flavor.

Cut to Fit: If your brisket is too large for your crock pot, cut it in half and layer it—fat side up so it bastes the meat as it cooks.

Low and Slow Wins: Cook on low for the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth brisket. High heat can make the meat. tough.

Slice Against the Grain: If slicing the meat, Cut across the grain which will give you more tender meat.

Sauce it Up: I think brisket tastes even better the next day—store it in its cooking juices for maximum flavor. Top it with some BBQ sauce for even more flavor.
