Slow Cooker Brisket & Beans

Slow Cooker Brisket & Beans

I have tried on many occasions to make a brisket… on the grill, smoking it, in the oven.  This recipe is the first time I got a moist and tender brisket!  I will always cook it in the slow cooker from now on!


Slow Cooker Brisket & Beans

Ingredients 

1 beef brisket, 2-3 lbs.
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 Tablespoons cooking oil (such as olive, vegetable or canola)
1 lb. (16 oz.) dried pinto beans
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup sliced onion
½ cup sliced red bell pepper
½ cup sliced green bell pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
½ teaspoon black pepper
3 cups chicken stock or broth

Directions

1.  Combine ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and flour; rub over all sides of brisket.  Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Add brisket, cook for 10 minutes on each side until browned.

2.  Meanwhile, combine remaining ingredients except chicken stock in a 5 or 6-quart slow cooker.  Place brisket on top of bean mixture.

3.  Add chicken stock to skillet.  Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from bottom of skillet.  Pour stock mixture into slow cooker.

4.  Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or until brisket is tender and beans are soft.

Serve with Homemade Barbecue Sauce, if desired.
