Here’s a great crock pot recipe I came across lately, one that I presently have slowly cooking away in our crock pot, ready for tomorrow’s lunch:

Brisket in Ale

• 1 3 – 4 lb. beef brisket
• 1 12-ounce bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale (Flash site!)
• 1/2 cup Heinz Chili Sauce
• 2 tsp. McCormack’s Montreal Steak Seasoning
• 2 onions

1) Slice the onions and place in the bottom of the crock pot. Trim the fat from the brisket (cut to fit crock pot if necessary) and place on top of the onions. In a medium bowl, place the chili sauce, steak seasoning and beer; mix thoroughly.

2) Pour sauce over brisket in crock pot, cover and cook on Low setting for 10 hours (or 5 hours on High).

3) Slice brisket thinly and against the grain. Serve on kaiser rolls and top with cooking sauce and onions, if desired.

I did this with a pork roast about two months back, and it was a little strong. Admittedly, I used the spicy version of the steak seasoning, so that might have had something to do with it. The roast was tasty, although the method overdid things a little; the original recipe called for a brisket, which I think will produce a better meal.
