J, so now I have a craving for your version of brisket. Because how else can I justify the guilty pleasure that is onion soup mix?

The best brisket for my bland-lovin’ taste buds and lazy bones is the one involving a packet of onion soup mix and a jar of mushrooms. Dump it in the slow cooker with a quarter or a half or a cup of water and make yourself some sandwiches – because I usually think of the slow cooker around 5 PM. But the next night? Yum.

LOL! coming from chicago as I do, there is not a time in history when at least one of my relatives was not interacting with meat of some kind!

Not much of that rubbed off on me either, but my grandfather had a farm and did his own butchering. You never knew when you went for Sunday dinner WHOM you were eating!

BTW I can still break down a chicken in about 7 minutes if I try! I remember the day Mommy came in while poppy was dismembering a chicken and he chased her around the barn with a lone chicken foot yelling CLUCK CLUCK! I kid you not!

I do know that the t-bone is a combination of the New York strip and the little round piece under the t is filet……

Now about brisket……..Ihave found it plentiful here BUT you must know that Texas must be the brisket capital of the world…….brisket slathered with some kind of yummy sauce, coleslaw and beans is a staple here I plan to buy pants with elastic waists from now on ( NOT!)LOL

but when I do not see brisket ( or any other kind of cut I want in the case) I ring the bell and ask the butcher person if he can hook me up. this is the megamart.

Find me a real butchershop and I don’t even get a funny look when I ask! Of course there are a bunch of them here.

That happens to me all the time! I’m at high altitude, and meat can be quite testy! Glad you FINALLY got to eat it!

Unpredictability of cooking time is the only bad thing about slow cookers. Like ovens, they can run hot or cold, but unlike an oven, since you’re slow cooking, a cold cooker can mean a lot LONGER cook time. I’m sorry to hear this didn’t turn out better. I’m sure Noel would love if I cooked any kind of brisket (or beef actually), even if we did have it at 11pm. But no beef for over 10 years, and now I’m almost scared of it!
