"I enjoy fixing a sit-down meal for my husband and myself every evening, so this entree is often on the menu," writes Anita Keppinger from Philomath, Oregon. "It's fairly inexpensive and takes little effort to prepare. The tender beef tastes wonderful."

Can you do this in a 5 quart slow cooker?

I had some trouble with it being dry. i cooked it on low for 8 hours (at work all day) so maybe that was the problem? it was flavorful and tender enough but very very dry. any suggestions?

I made this yesterday. I put the rub on the brisket the night before and let it sit in the crock in the frig over night. In the morning, I poured all the sauce over the brisket, set the crock pot on low and cooked it all day while we were at work. It was just delicious, my husband and I both loved it. This recipe is definitely a keeper and will be making it again soon. Thanks for such a great recipe.

I made this for dinner last night and we loved it. My brisket was 3 1/2 lbs and I cooked it the full 5 hours. The only change I would make when cooking this again is to double the sauce. It was a hit!!

Tasty--I would like to try a cooking method other than the crockpot using this recipe. Great sauce.
