Preparation

Step 1

1. For cooking liquid, in a bowl combine water, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, bouillon granules, dry mustard, chili powder, red pepper, and garlic. Reserve 1/2 cup liquid for sauce; set aside in the refrigerator. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut brisket to fit into a 3-1/2 or 4-quart crock pot. Place meat in cooker. Pour remaining liquid over brisket.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or on high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours.

3. For sauce, in a small saucepan combine the 1/2 cup reserved liquid, catsup, brown sugar, and butter. Heat and pass sauce with meat.

Note: For a 5 or 6-quart crock pot: Double the cooking liquid ingredients, reserving 1/2 cup for sauce. Leave all other ingredient amounts the same. Prepare as above.
