For an even deeper flavor, sear the brisket in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker. This will add a beautiful crust and enhance the overall taste.
If you don't have liquid smoke, you can substitute a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a similar smoky flavor.
The cooking time may vary depending on your slow cooker. Check for tenderness after 7 hours and adjust accordingly.
For easier slicing, chill the brisket slightly after cooking before slicing it against the grain.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread, for a complete and satisfying meal.
