Finger Lickin' Good

So, BEFORE I decided to start saving on groceries I splurged a few weeks ago and bought some yummy beef brisket (that was not on sale!). :) Marc loves juicy and flavorful meat dishes so I couldn't resist trying THIS recipe I found on allrecipes.com. I thoroughly read the reviews on their site and adjust the recipes accordingly. Here are the changes I made: I didn't trim the brisket because the layer of fat adds flavor when cooking. You can remove it fairly easily off the top after cooking. Just make sure you cook it with the fat side up! I put the rub on ours the night before and put it back in the fridge in a Ziploc bag to marinate some. I didn't use the celery seed because I didn't have any and don't really like the taste. I cooked ours in the slow cooker for 7 hrs. on low. In the end it turned out delicious! Marc could hardly get the words out as he was savoring each bite. :) This brisket would be great with THESE baked beans that I made for Eli's birthday party/cook-out (I used 1 cup of sugar instead of 2 and they were plenty sweet for my liking). Some grilled corn on the cob would top this meal off! I have been trying several new recipes lately that have all been good so I will share more in the coming weeks.
