Instructions
Preparation
- Place the sliced onion in the bottom of your slow cooker.

- In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the brisket in the slow cooker.
Cooking
- Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the brisket is very tender.
- Carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Shred or slice the brisket and serve with the reserved cooking liquid.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the brisket in the sauce overnight before cooking. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the brisket when it’s done and let the sauce reduce on the stove for a few minutes. Always slice the brisket against the grain to ensure tenderness.
