Use a freshnot cornedbeef brisket in this dish. The onion soup mix along with some ketchup and some warm spices give the sauce its fabulous flavor. Smoking aside, the slow cooker is an excellent way to cook this cut of beef, and the dish needs very little hands-on prep work. Just put everything in the crock pot and then set it and forget it for several hours. It's the perfect dish for a busy day when you don't have time for kitchen duty. If you crave smoked flavor, add about 1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke to the sauce mixture, and feel free to replace the ketchup with your favorite brand of barbecue sauce.
