Slow Cooker Honey Barbecue Beef Brisket Is A Delicious Way To Make Brisket Perfect Every Time!

We love slow cooker beef recipes including the most popular recipe on the site, Slow Cooker Beef & Cheese Pasta and Gluten Free Slow Cooker Beef Stew Recipe.

Slow Cooker Honey Barbecue Beef Brisket

A good brisket is always such a delicious recipe, but it can be difficult to get right every time. Thankfully, this slow cooker recipe makes it easier and almost fool proof every single time!

The flavors of this crock pot brisket are perfect and it almost melts in your mouth! I love a good brisket and you will most definitely love this recipe, too!

HOW LONG DOES THIS BRISKET COOK?

You will want to cook this one on LOW for 10 hours. Usually, a slow cooker recipe has a “high” option too, but this one is better done low.  The slower you go, the better your meat will taste and the more tender it will be.

WHAT KIND OF MEAT DO YOU USE FOR THIS CROCK POT BRISKET?

You can head over to your local grocery store’s meat department and just look for the meat cut “brisket”. There are two different types of briskets available and either will do!

DO I HAVE TO USE BRISKET FOR THIS CROCKPOT BRISKET RECIPE?

I know it sounds weird, but I don’t always use brisket, for brisket recipes. The stores in my small town, don’t always have it.  Or if they do, it’s a big 10-15 pound slab of meat that won’t work for the recipe I plan to make.  Sometimes it costs to much, too.  If it does or if I can’t find the right size, I’ll look for a cheaper cut of meat and I’m usually just as happy with a roast or London Broil.

HOW CAN I THICKEN THE SAUCE?

I took the sauce out of the cooker and put it on the stove to thicken. It worked like a charm! You don’t have to thicken the sauce, but some people would rather have it super thick rather than thin. It is totally a personal preference!

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH MY CROCK POT BRISKET?

Here are some great ideas to serve with your brisket!

  • Serve it on buns
  • Potato Salad
  • Macaroni Salad
  • Steamed Veggies
  • Salad
  • Cucumber Salad
  • Green Beans or Peas
  • Corn on the Cob
  • French Fries
  • Scalloped Potatoes
  • Mashed Potatoes

Happenings from my Family of 9

This is my 16 year old daughter Reagan.  We were at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO waiting to get on a ride, when my husband snapped this picture of her.  She’s the sweetest and growing right up!

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
