Ingredients

How to Make Crockpot Brisket Sandwiches

Step 1 – Put the brisket in the bottom of my favorite crock pot on the fat side. 

Step 2 – Then I put all the other ingredients except for the buns on top of the brisket.

A slow cooker brimming with tender brisket smothered in dark barbecue sauce tempts the senses. Perfect for crafting a Crock Pot Brisket Sandwich, a white dishcloth peeks from the side, while two small bowls of sauce await on a pristine white surface.

Step 3 – Next you slow cook the barbecue brisket for 10 hours.  I don’t recommend cooking on high for this recipe. Slow cooking this brisket recipe makes it fork tender that it almost melts in your mouth. 

Step 4 – After this cook time, remove the brisket. I put it on a cutting board and shred brisket with 2 forks. 

Step 5 – Return the brisket to the crock pot. Then mix with your barbecue sauce and juices mixture in the crock pot. You can also place everything in a baking dish.

Step 6 – Finally it’s ready to serve on your favorite type of brisket sandwich bread!

Shredded beef brisket, marinated in a rich brown sauce, slowly cooks to perfection. This Crock Pot creation is garnished with fresh green herbs, hinting at an irresistible sandwich recipe waiting to delight your taste buds.

Recipe Notes

 
Variation Ideas
This recipe is so versatile that there are tons of substitutions that you can choose to make this recipe your own.
  • Make it Sweeter – We like serve sweeter slow cooker pulled beef brisket sandwiches. Add approximately ½ brown sugar to the crock pot prior to slow cooking the brisket.
  • Add Garlic – If you like garlic like me, you can add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Adding garlic gives it a delicious garlic flavor to your brisket sandwich sauce.
  • Onion Powder – If you would like you can add in some onion powder with the seasoning.
  • Beef Broth – For some extra flavoring, you can add in some beef broth.
How to Use leftover Brisket
  • Bake Potatoes – I really enjoying serving the left over brisket over baked potatoes.  You can cook these potatoes in the crock pot or in the microwave.  Both ways are easy and will create a great second meal with these delicious left overs.
  • Pasta Dish – In addition, you can serve the leftover brisket with your favorite pasta side dish.  I love this simple parmesan pasta recipe.  It goes great with anything.
  • Mashed Potatoes – BBQ Brisket Sandwiches is great served with some creamy mashed potatoes. In less than 15 minutes you can have a complete meal.

    I made this last yesterday. It was very easy to assemble and it is very tasty. It’s a keeper. Now, that being said, I did omit the salt. First place I don’t know of any recipe that I would use 2 tablespoons of salt in. Second place there is enough salt in the other ingredients.
