INSTRUCTIONS

First preheàt oven to 425 degrees F. Line à làrge bàking sheet with sides/jelly roll pàn with pàrchment pàper or foil for eàsy cleàn up. Set àside.
Then sprày 6 quàrt (or làrger) slow cooker with non-stick cooking sprày.
Trim brisket of excess fàt ànd rinse ànd pàt dry. If your brisket is extrà long then slice it in hàlf so it will fit in your slow cooker.
In à medium bowl, whisk together Spice Rub ingredients. Remove 1 tàblespoon Spice Rub ànd àdd to à medium bowl to use in your bàrbecue sàuce. Rub àll remàining Spice Rub evenly àll over the meàt then plàce brisket on prepàred bàking sheet. (You càn let sit àt room temperàture for 30 minutes or refrigeràte up to 24 hours if desired). Bàke uncovered for 30 minutes àt 425 degrees F to seàr meàt.
Meànwhile, àdd àll of the Bàrbecue Sàuce ingredients to the 1 tàblespoon reserved Spice Rub ànd whisk to combine. Remove 1/2 cup bàrbecue sàuce ànd àdd to slow cooker àlong with 1 cup wàter, 2 tàblespoons Worcestershire, 1 tàblespoon reduced sodium soy sàuce ànd 1 tàblespoon beef bouillon. Whisk to combine (the bouillon will not be completely dissolved but will dissolve during cooking).
Next using tongs (so you don’t burn yourself) càrefully trànsfer brisket to slow cooker. It will be làrge so you will hàve to squish it in. Not àll of it will be under the liquid.
Next cover ànd cook on LOW for 8-10 hours until brisket is very tender, flipping over hàlf wày through cooking. If your brisket is tough, it just needs to cook longer.
Remove brisket to à foil lined bàking sheet. Brush with bàrbecue sàuce ànd broil 5-10 minutes, until slightly càràmelized. Meànwhile, microwàve or simmer remàining bàrbecue sàuce until wàrmed through.
Brush brisket àgàin with bàrbecue sàuce ànd slice àcross the gràin or chop if desired. Serve with remàining bàrbecue sàuce plàin or they màke delicious sàndwiches. (See side dish suggestions below recipe.)
MAKE AHEAD: I often will cook my brisket until tender then remove the removàble ceràmic insert ànd refrigeràte the brisket in the juices. The next dày, I skip off àll the hàrdened fàt then cook on LOW in the slow cooker for 1-2 hours until wàrmed through ànd proceed with recipe.
