2 tablespoons paprika
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder

2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

PREPARATION

Pre-heat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Spray the slow cooker inserts with nonstick spray.

Pat brisket dry. You can reduce the length if it is too long for a slow cooker.

Mix together the following ingredients in a small bowl: brown sugar, paprika and onion powder.

Rub the brisket evenly, then place it on a baking sheet.

Bake for 30 minutes in the oven

Add barbecue sauce, 1 cup water and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. Mix well.

Transfer the brisket into a slow cooker. Cover the meat and let it cook for 8-10 hours. Turn the meat halfway through.

Once the meat is cooked, place the brisket on a foil-lined baking sheet. After brushing with barbecue sauce, broil the brisket for 5-10 minutes.

Cut the grain thinly and chop it. Serve with barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
