Looking for a foolproof brisket recipe. This crockpot brisket is my go-to for Taco Tuesday, family gatherings, or a weekend meal that fills the house with an irresistible aroma. It’s easy, uses just three ingredients, and makes enough to feed a crowd!
Servings: Adjust based on 1/2 lb of raw brisket per person. Remember, brisket shrinks during cooking due to fat, so if you don’t account for the fat content, you’ll end up with less meat than you planned.
This brisket is perfect for brisket tacos, hearty sandwiches, or loaded stuffed potatoes. Don’t forget: brisket has a lot of fat, so plan accordingly when buying. The smell alone will have everyone asking when dinner’s ready!
Enjoy, and make sure to share this recipe with friends!
Equipment
- 1 crockpot
Ingredients
- 4-6 lbs brisket aim for 1/2 lb per person, accounting for fat
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
- 1 cup brisket marinade (*see notes)
Instructions
- Place the brisket fat-side up in your crockpot.
- Sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix evenly over the brisket.
- Pour the brisket marinade on top, ensuring it coats the meat.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the brisket is tender and easy to shred.
- Once done, remove the brisket from the crockpot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
Notes
*I use the Allegro Brisket & Fajita Gold Buckle. I swear by it but any brisket marinade will work.
