This was amazing... my husband and guests loved it. I doubled sauce and marinade as others indicated, and added a total of 1 TB liquid smoke. We chopped everything up and served over baked potatoes with cheese, sour cream, onions, garlic scapes and jalapeno peppers..........WOW! I will definitely be making this many many more times... we were only sad there wasn't more left!

I am always looking for new crock pot recipes. This is my first time cooking brisket - followed the directions exactly and it was absolutely delicious. Family, including kids, loved it as well. I am planning on passing this recipe on - thanks so much!

Added 1 tbs liquid smoke & some Cattleman's BBQ sauce. Took a huge baked potato, filled it with butter, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, over filled it with the brisket and added some chopped jalapenos to the top. It was awesome!

This is the easiest and best sauce! I too added a little worstershire and then carmelized the sauce over beef ribs that had been slow cooked all day. It was really amazing!! And I'm picky!

This was excellent! Made the following changes: doubled both cooking marinade and sauce; added 1 tsp liquid smoke to cooking marinade and substitued chili sauce for half of ketchup in sauce recipe. This is a keeper.

First brisket - excellent results! Used cider vinegar and 1 tsp liquid smoke, as suggested by other reviewers. Shredded after 11 hours, another 1/2 hour back in the cooker. 2.2 lb brisket made four decent sandwiches (on big kaiser rolls) with a little left over. This is a keeper - cannot wait to make it again.

Superb BBQ. Only change we made was to use crushed red peppers because we were out of ground. Worked great & highly recommend this recipe!

Excellent. Served for Christmas dinner. Used Cider Vinegar and liquid smoke also. Used left over sauce as marinade for jerky which I made out of the brisket that didn't fit into the crockpot. Will fix again.

Wonderful! I added the liquid smoke and and the apple cider vinegar and it really enhanced the flavor! YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!
Guest: Michele 2009-08-07
This brisket was wonderful! I read the reviews first and added the 1 Tblsp of Liquid Smoke and the Apple Cider Vinegar instead of White Vinegar. I also needed to substitute 1 tsp of Yellow Mustard for the 1/2 tsp of Dry Mustard because I didn't have any in the pantry. I cooked it on high for 6 hours and it was so moist and flavorful. Believe me and everyone else here, the sauce is FANTASTIC! I'm not one for BBQ sauce, but it just took the brisket to a whole new level! I will deffinately keep this one for the recipe book and make it again!

VERY good recipe. My children like 'sweeter' bbq sauce so I added a couple more T spoons of br sugar. They loved the meal & they're NOT brisket nor crock pot advocates!! I'll do it again & mod the sauce again for a different flav. Potato wedges tossed with canola oil & various spices oven baked were the perfect side (also some fresh broccoli & cauliflower steamed).

I have never made a beef brisket before. This recipe was awesome. My family loved it. The sauce was the bomb! I will definitely make it again. I added the liquid smoke to it as did another reviewer. It was very good.

My entire family, including a fairly finicky 2 yr. old, LOVED this brisket. I added 1 Tablespoon of Liquid Smoke to the cooking liquid and I used Chili Sauce for about 1/2 of the ketchup in the sauce recipe. It was amazing! You'll want to use this sauce as for all of your BBQing.

My husband and I loved this easy recipe. What makes it is the sauce, hands down one of the best.
