Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Pork brisket
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 teaspoons seasoned salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1 to 2 teaspoons paprika
• Dash red pepper
• 2 to 3 small onions (sliced)
• 1 large green pepper (sliced)
• 28 oz. bottle honey BBQ sauce
• 1 cup brown sugar
• Slow cooker
• Dutch oven (optional)

Prepare and Marinate

1. Rinse pork brisket with cold water and pat dry.

2. Mix dry spices and garlic in a large mixing bowl.

3. Rub spices into the pork brisket. Cover all the areas with seasoning.

4. Marinate the pork brisket for 12 to 24 hours in the refrigerator to distribute the seasoning. If your slow cooker has a removable bowl, marinate the pork in the bowl, and it will be ready to go when you are.

Cooking the Dish

5. Slice onions and green peppers and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker. If you are marinating the pork brisket in the slow cooker bowl, these can be added before refrigerating

6. Place the pork brisket on top of your onions and peppers.

7. Mix brown sugar and BBQ sauce and pour it over the meat.

8. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours, or until the pork is tender and can be pulled apart easily with a fork. A slow cooking time tenderizes the pork and allows the seasonings to blend throughout the meat.

Serving Your Meal

9. Remove the pork from the slow cooker and allow it to cool slightly.

10. Shred pork brisket with two forks. It should pull apart easily. If it does not, it needs more cooking time.

11. Serve shredded pork on rolls for a delicious sandwich or over hot rice or noodles for a more filling meal. Top off with a generous portion of sauce.

Tips & Warnings

• You can cook pork brisket in the oven at 200 degrees for 8 hours or until the pork is tender. A Dutch oven works well.
• Substitute your own seasoning blends and your favorite BBQ sauce to create your own flavor.
• You may prefer to sauté additional onions and peppers in a pan to add texture to your sandwiches.
