Expert Tips

  • Short of time? Use prepared coleslaw to top these bowls.
  • Texas brisket is typically served dry, but if a sauce is desired, take remaining liquid from slow cooker after beef is removed, and skim off the fat. In 2-quart saucepan, cook liquid over high heat until reduced to sauce consistency.
