- 1 yellow onion quartered

- 5 cloves garlic minced
- ½ tsp salt

- Save Juices: Pour the juices that the brisket was cooking in from the slow cooker into a strainer to strain out all the onions and leaves from the juice. (SAVE the juices)Skim the top of the juices to remove excess grease and then spoon a small amount, just a couple of tablespoons onto the meat.

Notes
- Keep some of the juice if you will be saving some brisket to reheat later. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.
- Poblano peppers: can add more to taste, or substitute with another chile. If you want more heat anaheim, jalapeño, or serrano peppers would all increase the heat by different amounts.
- Reserve Juices: Keep some of the juice if you will be saving some brisket to reheat later. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.
- Storage: store leftover meat in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Freezing: wrap the meat with plastic wrap or foil, then place in a plastic freezer bag or freezer safe container. Refrigerate until chilled then place in the freezer. Freeze for 2-4 months. To thaw remove meat to the refrigerator and let thaw overnight.
- Reheating Instructions: Prior to re-heating pour another couple of tablespoons of juice over the meat. This will keep it moist and prevent drying out during re-heating. To reheat place meat and juices in a baking dish, cover with foil and bake at 375℉ for 15 minutes or until meat is heated through.
