Slow Cooker BBQ Brisket

Did you know that slow-cookers aren't just for heavy, wintry meals? It's true.

As an example: you don't always want to actually barbecue when you have a barbecue. Or at least I don't. Sometimes you want to eat outdoors off of paper plates, but you don't want a hamburger, or a hot dog, or maybe you're out of propane and don't feel like running to Home Depot, or maybe you're just in the mood for something…else.

Brisket is so good. And slow-cookers make eating it so easy. Seriously, what this meal involves is: 1) put things in slow cooker; 2) put slow-cooked things in bun. Done. (I added some broccoli because I felt like it was important to show that I made an effort to include greenery, but honestly: potato salad is probably a better addition here.)

Easy, Awesome Brisket With Vegetables

Course #2 of our Passover Dinner (the first I've ever made on my own) was yet another dish that's brand-new to me: brisket. But I was excited to add my aunt Debbie's recipe to my repertoire, because I have a big thing for inexpensive cuts of meat that you cook on low heat for ever and ever: I think they're just incredibly flavorful and delicious, and love how virtually unscrewupable they are. I also love the fact that you start them in the morning and then basically forget about them all day long, and then poof: dinner is ready, and you barely did a thing.

This dish easily serves 4-6, and makes for some seriously good leftovers (try putting the meat between slices of white bread the next day, oh my god yum). You can also try making this in your slow-cooker; just remember that you'll need about 8 hours of cooking if you do it that way.
