Thank GOODNESS I found this….I made this super yummy brisket a year ago and couldnt remember where I got the recipe from. After talking to my mother-in-law about her brisket (sorry to say, not my fav…actually I have never found a brisket I have liked besides this one from Deb) I was craving this lush delish one I had once before. I have scoured my FineCooking one-pot mag and binder of recipes to no avail (there is a pile of mags on the ground as we speak!)….and PRAISES I found it purely by accident (or the cooking faries led me here) Watch out fam- I am making brisket this weekend If you havent already- this is a must try!

I’ve never commented before (though I’ve made many of your recipes) but thought I might as well throw my 2 cents in. I just made this and am sitting waiting for boyfriend to get home so I can start devouring this. After 3 hours in my Le Creuset it’s absolutely perfect, with a side of that Ina Garten pickled slaw. Yum. Thanks!

Help! What did I do wrong? I went to a good butcher to get the meat,so I don’t think that is the problem. I followed the recipe, and turned on my Cuisinart slow cooker. I checked it at 8 hours, and then at 10 (when I took it out and ‘cut’ some off for dinner). I put the rest back and cooked for another two hours. I finally turned it off after 12 hours and really PULLED it apart. The taste was good, but I don’t think this is what was supposed to happen. If it is the slow cooker, how can I adjust the recipe so that it cooks in a reasonable amount of time?

I’ve just made this and devoured it for the second time, and will be making it many times in the future. This recipe is absolutely delicious! And so easy to make. I had to omit the chipotle chillis (I couldn’t find any in here in Scotland), but it was still super tasty. I like to reduce and blend the sauce, and freeze the leftovers to have with chicken or something else that needs spicing up. We ate it fajita style with lots of salad, bell peppers, rice, tortillas and sour cream. Yummy.

Finally got around to making this (I printed it when you posted in 2010!). Talk about being consumed with regret…I should have made this l o n g ago. So so so tasty. The only modification I made was to 1/2 the amount of dressing for the slaw recipe, I just can’t stomach too much dressing on my slaw. Another winner Deb – thanks!

First off, I love your blog!!! I have cooked a handful of different recipes and have loved them all.

Second, I made this last night as a trial run before serving it at a big party this weekend. I bought a 3 lb. brisket. I cooked it over night so split the difference and set the timer for 9 hours on the slow cooker. My slow cooker works that after it is done cooking it goes to warming. I took it out at about the 10.5 hour mark and it was overcooked. The taste and flavor was great but the meat was overcooked and didn’t pull, you had to cut into the meat. I was planning on making a 15lb. brisket on Sunday. Any suggestions on how long I should cook it for to avoid overcooking? Thanks tons in advance.

I just recently found your blog and I LOVE it! I am newly married and love your recipes! {plus I am a new blogger and your site is great inspiration}

This one caught my eye because for the 1st time since I got married I decided to pull out that crock pot and do something with it even though it’s not my favorite thing. I LOVE it now! I would love for you to check out my post about it!

I just wrapped this brisket in handmade tamales and it is delicious! We’ll be enjoying this off and on (from our stash of 3 dozen in the freezer) for months to come.

I made this and it was wonderful! how easy do you think it would be to double the recipe in the slow cooker…
