Dry Rub

- 1 tsp onion powder

- 1 tsp mustard powder

Meat
- 3.5 - 4 lbs brisket (flat or point)
Instructions
- In a bowl: combine all the dry rub ingredients together and mix.
- In the slow cooker: Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients together and mix. Optional: favorite store bought BBQ sauce can replace in this step.
- Clean and pat the brisket dry with a paper towel. Trim and discard some of the fat. Rub the dry ingredients on both sides of the brisket (It's going to be a very thick coat of the seasoning).
- Place brisket in the slow cooker. Add BBQ sauce on top. Slow cook on low for 9 hours for 3 ½ lbs and 10 hours for 4 lbs.
- Transfer the brisket to a plate/cutting board. Cover/tent with aluminum foil.
- Transfer the liquid to a sauce pan. Simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes or until it thickens. Coat the brisket with BBQ sauce. Broil in the oven on high for 4-5 minutes. Slice the brisket.
