Man Is What He Eats – Slow Cooked Brisket
My girlfriend’s parents bought me a nice Hamilton Beach programmable slow cooker, and despite doing a chilli and green bean casserole, nothing had been the main course yet. I changed that this past Sunday.
Following a recipe adapted from this Epicurious Brisket recipe.
Overall, I was happy with the meal, though subconsciously I was expecting smoked brisket which, while never having enjoyed I longed for. This brisket was more roast-like in taste and texture, but was absolutely sumptuous. With the sauce that the meat cooked in, the flavors popped even more.
With only about a half hour of prep time, and 8 hours in the slow cooker, this will be something I’ll do again. The “set it and forget it” nature of slow cooking is nice, especially when working all day.
