Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef brisket
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 6 pieces buns or sandwich rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter
- optional toppings (pickles, coleslaw, sliced onions)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef brisket and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix paprika, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Rub the mixture generously all over the brisket.
Slice the yellow onion into thick rings and place them in the bottom of the Crock Pot as a flavorful base.
Peel and smash the garlic cloves, then scatter them over the onions.
Place the seasoned brisket on top of the onion and garlic layer in the Crock Pot.
Pour the beef broth and barbecue sauce over the brisket, ensuring even coverage.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender and easily shreddable.
Once cooked, carefully remove the brisket from the Crock Pot and place it on a cutting board. Shred the meat using two forks.
Return the shredded brisket to the Crock Pot and mix it with the juices to keep it moist and flavorful.
Toast the buns or sandwich rolls with a little butter on a skillet or in a toaster oven until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwiches by piling the shredded brisket onto the toasted buns. Add optional toppings such as pickles, coleslaw, or sliced onions if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy your Crock Pot Beef Brisket Sandwiches!
