Beef brisket is really not hard to cook but the key is low and slow. I have roasted them in the oven and I’ve cooked them in the crock pot too.

My favorite method is for my husband to smoke it for a few hours and then finish it really slow in the oven. Here’s our Easy Smoked Brisket with a step by step recipe we put together for y’all! I bet it will become your favorite too!
