Notes

- Brisket: Look for flat cut brisket which is rectangular in shape and has a fat cap. If your brisket doesn’t fit in the Dutch oven for browning, cut it in pieces and sear in batches.
- Yield: This Slow Cooker Brisket recipe makes enough for 8 generous entree-sized servings.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
