Since the weather is getting cooler I'm thinking more and more about what I want to cook in my slow cooker. I don't want anything too complicated so this cookbook seemed to offer recipes that are easy to put together and forget about for a few hours. Most of these recipes looked pretty simple and the beef brisket recipe looked very tasty.I cooked a two-pound beef brisket and halved all the ingredients for the cooking liquid. I also used red vermouth and didn't use any grill seasoning. Three tablespoons seemed excessive and I didn't want to make everything really salty. The only thing I didn't do was cook the potatoes and carrots with the brisket. Instead I roasted the potatoes at 400 degrees for thirty minutes. You just the potato pieces in olive oil and sprinkle on some salt and pepper. I also steamed the carrots.The meal turned out really well and my husband went for seconds. That tells me the recipe is good. However I did not use the sauce that results from the cooking process. It seemed a bit thin so I just spooned the onions over slices of beef brisket and served everything with plenty of barbecue sauce. I like KC Masterpiece original barbecue sauce with this recipe as it is a bit smoky and that way it has the flavor of a smoked brisket.I will definitely make this again as brisket is an inexpensive meat in comparison to most cuts. I cooked the brisket for five hours total and it was great.~The Rebecca ReviewP.S. I made the brisket again but cooked it on low for eight hours and it was better. I also just used barbecue sauce which I think is much easier and tastes better.
