Ohhh yes—set-it-and-forget-it comfort food 🐂🔥
Here’s a super simple Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient BBQ Beef Brisket that turns out tender and saucy every time.
Ingredients (5 total)
- 3–4 lb beef brisket
- 1½ cups BBQ sauce (use your favorite)
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Prep the brisket
Trim excess fat if needed. Pat dry. - Make the sauce
In a bowl, mix BBQ sauce, onion soup mix, brown sugar, and Worcestershire. - Slow cook
Place brisket in the slow cooker. Pour sauce over the top, coating well. - Cook low & slow
- LOW: 8–10 hours (best texture)
- HIGH: 5–6 hours
Brisket should be fork-tender.
- Rest & slice
Let rest 10–15 minutes. Slice against the grain or shred for sandwiches.
Serving ideas
- Pile onto buns for BBQ brisket sandwiches
- Serve with mashed potatoes or mac & cheese
- Great for meal prep—it reheats like a champ
If you want a version with no onion soup mix, a spicy kick, or Texas-style (less sweet), say the word 😄
