beef brisket
(2 -3 lb) (flat trimmed)

Instructions
1
Begin by lightly greasing a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the sliced sweet onion and chopped garlic to the bottom of the pot.
2
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, beef base, Worcestershire sauce, cumin (or omit if preferred), and hickory liquid smoke. Rub this mixture generously over the surface of the brisket, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
3
Place the seasoned brisket on top of the onion and garlic mixture in the slow cooker.
4
In another bowl, whisk together the beer and bottled chili sauce. Carefully pour this mixture around the brisket in the slow cooker, taking care not to wash off the spice rub.
5
Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours. After cooking, let the brisket sit uncovered in the cooker for 20 minutes to retain moisture and flavor.
6
Remove the brisket from the slow cooker and transfer it to a cutting board. Slice the brisket thinly across the grain for optimal tenderness.
7
Serve the sliced brisket on a platter, drizzled with the flavorful pan juices for added richness and aroma.
