Old-Fashioned Crockpot Beef Brisket Recipe

This traditional, old-fashioned recipe for crockpot beef brisket cooks slowly in your slow cooker for a satisfying and warming dinner. This is the perfect dish to make on a cold winter weekend; the aroma that drifts through the house as the meat is cooking is incredible. Brisket is a tough cut of meat since the animal uses it a lot, so it must be cooked with liquid, and slowly for a long period of time. This recipe makes very tender meat with a fabulous flavor that is rich and deep. You can change the vegetables you put into this recipe with ease. Add some sliced mushrooms, add more garlic, stir in some cubed yukon gold or russet potatoes, or add some cubed parsnips. Toward the end of cooking time, you could add more tender vegetables, including bell peppers, zucchini, or frozen peas. Serve this warming and comforting dish with a simple green salad tossed with mushrooms, grape tomatoes, sliced avocados, and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. For dessert, a chocolate cake or brownies would be perfect. Serve this menu often during the cold winter months.
