Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups BBQ sauce make ahead of time
- ½ cup perfect BBQ rub
- 4 lb brisket trimmed of excess of fat
- 1 cup beef stock
- 8 hamburger buns toasted
- 1 medium onion sliced (optional, for garnish)
- Pickles sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the easy BBQ sauce as directed and set aside.
- Mix together the perfect BBQ rub and set aside.
- Use your fingers to rub the perfect BBQ rub all over the brisket.
- Place the brisket into the slow cooker. You may need to cut the roast into 2 pieces. It's okay if they overlap.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the prepared BBQ sauce and the beef stock (1 cup). Pour over the meat.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 10 to 11 hours.
- Carefully remove the meat from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat. Save 1 to 2 cups of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and discard the rest. Set aside.
- Use a large knife to roughly chop the shredded brisket.
- Add the meat back into the slow cooker and add another cup of the BBQ sauce along with the reserved cooking liquid. Mix until combined.
- Cook on HIGH for 30 minutes.
- Serve warm with toasted buns, additional BBQ sauce, sliced onions, and sliced pickles.

- This chopped brisket can easily be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 to 3 months. Reheat in the slow cooker (or on the stove or in the oven) until heated through. Keep on the WARM setting when serving.
- We often double the batch of the homemade BBQ sauce, because it's just so good, and folks usually like to add more to their sandwiches when they assemble them.
