Slow Cooked Beef Brisket (Gluten Free and Organic)

Beefy brisket is transformed into tender morsels of barbecue goodness. Rub the beef with a combination of chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, cayenne, and garlic, then slow-cook it in a sweet-savory sauce that includes smoky chipotle chiles. After 10 hours of gentle cooking, the meat can be sliced or shredded, tossed with the sauce, and stuffed into a sandwich.  This is a great dish to have at a picnic, party or any sporting event.  



Have Fun and as always ENJOY!!!!!!!!
