I always feel like I come out ahead if I use the slow cooker at least once a week. Last week I bought a pork roast from Sunterra for $15.50 that we had three dinners out of--score! Buying roasts sight unseen is new for me. I usually pick whatever looks like it will fit in the slow cooker. I never noted how much it weighed. Today I learned that 900 grams (about 2lbs) of beef brisket just barely fits in the slow cooker.
I tried to find some brisket recipes online, but I get frustrated by the long winded stories and too many ads. It's easy to forget that Better Homes & Gardens exists and they didn't disappointed with their
beef brisket and barbecue sauce recipe.
Mmmmm! We had it with buns and coleslaw and it was just perfect. I substituted paprika and curry powder (and doubled up) for the cayenne pepper. I didn't have dry mustard, but I had grainy Grey Poupon which just added to the texture. I ended up nuking the final barbecue sauce mix instead of making it on the stove. Wow. Also I cooked it for eight hours instead of ten as our large slow cooker seems to run on the hot side. Can't wait to have leftovers tomorrow.
Of course, my picture wasn't as fancy, but gotta have a picture :-D My brisket fell apart easily.
