Really Janet?? Would the term "Texas-STYLE brisket" make you a little happier and a little less critical?
Apparently Janet has appointed herself the nomenclature police.
I haven't made this, when I make brisket I either smoke it on the grill or I use my mom's recipe, which is a sweet one. these flavors sound great but I would consider this more of a brisket pot roast than a Texas brisket.
Sorry not Texas Beef Brisket . That cooked slowly over an open pit for hours not in a slow cooker . Only the second recipe in the article and so far neither are authentic
This is the best recipe I have found. I add 1/2 red wine to the broth.
I've made this recipe about 5 times over the years. It has never failed to be wonderful. I reduce the chili powder in the sauce to 1tsp bc my husband complains of heartburn, and I usually just add the whole 15-oz can of beef broth. I love this so much! Some 20-y.o. visitors recently swooned over it.
This was delicious and then even better reheated the next day. Tender and moist.
I have wanted to make this recipe for a long time, so when my sister was visiting we thought let's give it a go! Anyways, neither of us read the recipe properly, and just made the barbeque sauce and put the meat in it in the slow cooker and cooked it for 4 hours on high. It was absolutely awesome!!!! Anyways, going back to review the recipe I realized we'd made it totally wrong, and it didn't even matter!
This is REALLY good!! The meat is great in French rolls, dipped in sauce.
There aren't very many recipes my family rate as excellent, but this one was a keeper.
