Ingredients
  

  • 1 3 1/2 pound brisket, trimmed
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 4-ounce can tomato paste
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce I like Stubb’s Sweet Heat
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups root beer

Instructions
 

  • Trim your brisket if it has a lot of fat. Season well with salt and pepper. Both sides.
  • Add the brisket to a very hot pan. Brown on both sides. My slow cooker has a browning feature, so I can do it directly in my slow cooker. The lazy girl in me loves that I do not have to dirty an extra pan.
  • Transfer the brisket to your slow cooker. Cover the top with sliced onions.
  • Mix together tomato paste, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, garlic, and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the sauce over the brisket.
  • Pour over root beer.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours.
  • Slice and serve.
