Slow Cooker Beef Brisket
- 1 fresh beef brisket (3-4 punds)
- ½ lb. sliced fresh mushrooms
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 cups crushed tomatoes (canned ones work)
- 1 cup chopped onion
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ cup cold water
Cut brisket in half; place in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Add mushrooms and bay leaves. Combine tomatoes, onion, brown sugar, vinegar and ketchup and pour over beef. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until meat is tender.
Remove beef and keep warm. Discard bay leaves. In a large saucepan, combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir in cooking liquid. Bring to boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice meat across the grain and serve with gravy. Enjoy!
