Slow Cooker Texas Smoked Beef Brisket

Ingredients

• Brisket Rub:
• 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 1/2 pounds beef brisket
• Barbeque Sauce:
• 3/4 cup barbeque sauce
• 1/4 cup water (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
• 1/2 onion, sliced into rings

Directions

Mix paprika, pepper, salt, brown sugar, chili powder, and cumin together in a bowl; rub evenly over the surface of the brisket. Put brisket in a large, resealable plastic bag; refrigerate 30 minutes to overnight.

Stir barbeque sauce, water, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke together in the bottom of a slow cooker. Lay brisket into the sauce mixture. Arrange onions atop the brisket.

Cook on Low until brisket is very tender, 6 to 7 hours. Rest brisket 10 minutes before slicing or shredding; serve with sauce from the slow cooker.
