The reason why....

A few years ago I made the New Year's resolution to try a new recipe each week to encourage more creativity in my cooking. At the time I was newly married and wanted to change what I cooked. What I learned is that I love to cook and I especially love to try new things....even if they don't turn out or I don't like the taste. At least I accomplished something...

BBQ Brisket

When it's game time, it's BBQ time.  This is a great fall/winter recipe to have cooking while you are watching a game. 

From Slow Cooker Magic

Texas-Style BBQ Brisket

1 beef brisket (3-4lbs)
3 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T chili powder
1 t celery salt
1 t black pepper
1 t liquid smoke
2 cloves garlic, minces
2 bay leaves
BBQ sauce (your favorite kind)

Place meat in a container and combine all ingredients except BBQ sauce.  Pour over meat.  Let sit in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. 

Place meat and all marinade in slow cooker.  Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours.

Remove meat from cooker and pour juices into 2 cup measuring cup.  Let stand for 5 minutes.  Skim fat from juices and remove bay leaves.  Stir 1 cup of juices with some BBQ sauce.  Discard remaining juices.

Return meat to cooker and pour sauce over meat.  Cover and cook for another 30 minutes.

Remove meat and place on a cutting board.  Cut on the cross-grain into 1/4" slices.

Enjoy!
