Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • We like using flat-cut brisket, but point-cut also works. Don’t trim the fat, it will help give flavor and keep moisture.
  • I recommend ½ pound per person then add 1-2 pounds to that total to account for those who wish to take a little more.
  • You can brown the brisket before adding it to the crock pot but it is not necessary. 
  • Leftovers make amazing sandwiches!
Store leftover brisket and the juices in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze it for up to 2 months.
