How long do you cook beef brisket in the slow cooker?
A 6 pound piece of brisket will take around 9 to 11 hours to cook in the crock pot. It is possible to over cook the brisket so be sure to check it several times during the last part of cooking. The beef should be fork tender, but not falling apart, we want to slice it not shred it! I love how easy and hands off it is to create such a tasty piece of beef!
What’s the best cut of brisket to use in this recipe?
Brisket comes in two cuts, flat and point. For the best results, you want to get flat cut, also known as first cut. It’s leaner and slices well, so be sure to ask for this cut if you don’t see it immediately at your butchers.
