Slow Cooker Brisket

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (3 pound) beef brisket
• 2 (12 ounce) bottles chili sauce
• 1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

METHOD
Place the beef brisket into a slow cooker. In a medium bowl, mix together the chili sauce, onion soup mix, and garlic powder. Pour over the brisket. Cover, and cook on the Low setting for 8 to 10 hours. Slice the brisket against the grain, and pour the gravy over the slices.


VERDICT
This recipe was so simple that I was really praying that it would turn out yummy.  'Chili Sauce' seemed pretty non-descript so I wasn't sure which type to get.  In the end I went with the lompeia chili dipping sauce since I knew I liked it.  Cooking on low appears to be very important with this dish as otherwise some parts start to almost burn (medium might be okay but high was not a good choice).  Also getting a good cut of meat is also important.  The meal has a lot of potential and I will try it again with a few adjustments and be careful of the chili sauce you choose as it can make the meal VERY hot!
