Crock Pot Beef Brisket
Intro: Crock Pot Beef Brisket
Crock pot cooking is a lot of fun and very easy to do. Throw everything in, check on it a few times, and you're good to do.
This instructable is for a one pot, pot roast style brisket. Brisket is supposed to be cooked slowly in liquids so that the meat becomes so tender it falls apart.
STEP 1: Ingredients
-2.5lb brisket
-large onion
-baby carrots (1 bag)

STEP 3: Vegetables
About 1/2 way through your cooking time, add the carrots. I quartered mine so they would cook quicker.
About an hour later I added the mushrooms and after another hour I added the potatoes.
I added the green beans during the last hour or so of cooking.

STEP 4: Slice and Serve!
Remove brisket from the crock pot and let sit for a moment before slicing.
To make gravy from the liquid, remove the vegetables from the crock pot and add a small amount of water mixed with corn starch. Make sure the crock pot temp is high. Stir until the liquid begins to thicken.
