A Sprinkle of This and That: Brisket in the Crock Pot

Brisket in the Crock Pot

My mom made THE BEST BRISKET.

I always requested that for a meal. As I got older, I asked her to share the recipe. She did, but no matter what I did, it just wasn't the same. I blamed it on the brisket and even said it was because I had a gas oven. Eventually I had a dual fuel oven/stove top, but that didn't seem to matter. It just wasn't the same. My mom passed away and I figured that I would never be able to serve a brisket quite like hers. :(

But one day, I stumbled across a crock pot recipe for cooking brisket and I thought I would give it a try. I channeled my brisket cooking mamma, prayed to the crock pot gods and ended up with...my mom's brisket!

The brisket was so tender and had that great smoky, BBQ taste! Cooked it right there in the crock pot, perfect for summer time when you don't want to heat up your kitchen. Check it out...
