How to make Slow Cooker Beef Brisket

In a small bowl combine the 3/4 cup water, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon instant bouillon granules, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, and 2 cloves minced garlic.

Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture for the barbecue sauce.

Trim any excess fat from the brisket. If necessary, cut the brisket to fit into a 3-1/2- or 4-quart crockery cooker.

Place brisket in the slow cooker.

Pour the remaining Worcestershire sauce mixture over the meat.

Cover and cook the brisket on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. (I prefer using the low setting)
