Notes
Variation IdeasThis 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 1/2 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.
