| One of my daughter's favorite meats is a brisket. | | | | the crockpot on low and cook up to eight hours. |
| She has loved brisket since she was a young child. | | | | Another recipe I love is a cranberry brisket. This |
| When I was growing up, my mother used to make | | | | recipe requires a little prep work before you can put |
| brisket in the oven, throwing a little bit of this and a | | | | the ingredients into the crockpot. Sautee two onions |
| little bit of that into the pot. While my daughter loved | | | | chopped, two stalks of celery chopped, two carrots |
| the end result it was near impossible for me to | | | | chopped and four cloves of garlic minced. Once soft, |
| duplicate the recipe. | | | | add in one can of whole berry cranberry sauce. Mix |
| Today, when I make a brisket I almost always use | | | | and remove from heat. Depending on the size of my |
| my crockpot. A brisket is a cut of meat that needs | | | | brisket, I'll sometimes brown the brisket before |
| to cook for several hours anyway, so why not cook | | | | putting it into the crockpot. If the brisket is small in |
| it in the crockpot where it will stay moist and absorb | | | | size, about 3 pounds or less, I'll skip the browning |
| all of the flavors I add in? | | | | process. Place the brisket in the crockpot, add the |
| One of the sauces I create involves ketchup, | | | | sauce and then set on low for up to eight hours. |
| Worchestshire sauce and onion soup mix. I mix them | | | | Both of these recipes are great when I'm working a |
| all together and then instead of adding water, I add | | | | full day. I plug in the crockpot before leaving and the |
| either Coke or 7-Up, depending on what I have in the | | | | meat is tender and ready when I get home from |
| house. Adding the soda adds a bit of a sweet taste | | | | work. We serve the brisket with either rice or |
| to the ketchup mixture. I place the meat on the | | | | potatoes and a hot vegetable. This makes a great |
| bottom and then add the sauces on top. I then set | | | | meal that is very simple to prepare. |
