I like this recipe not only because it makes such tender and flavorful beef, but because it takes advantage of a slow cooker. It's wonderful to come home from work and have this mouthwatering dish waiting for you. The beef doubles as a warm sandwich filling, too.—Chris Snyder, Boulder, Colorado

My family loves this recipe and I have made it for company several times and always recieve a request for the recipe. I have used rump roasts and shoulder roasts with equally good results but prefer the brisket when slicing for sandwiches-when buying select a thick well trimmed brisket for best results-too much fat makes the gravy greasy. Also I only cook for 6-7 hours

I wasn't 100% pleased with the final outcome. 10 hours overcooked it. And this is NOT a cheap piece of meat! Also, the katsup flavor was overpowering. It's an "OK" recipe, but I'd definately use a bbq sauce in place of the katsup and maybe try 8 hours.
