This is the absolute best brisket ever!! Cooked for hours and hours it just gets softer and softer until you can shred it. We love this in tacos and on toasted buns with melted cheese!
Slow Cooker Garlic Brisket and Onions
The mushrooms aren’t pictured in this photo but I always add them now. Even if you dislike mushrooms they flavor the sauce nicely!!!
You’ll Need:
Crockpot
I love my crockpot because you can cook the onions/mushrooms right in it and also sear the meat. If yours doesn’t have this option, just do the browning in a skillet.
