Ingredients:
- 2 to 2 1/2 lbs beef brisket
- 1 cup hickory-flavored barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 12 oz noodles
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Brisket: Place the beef brisket in a slow cooker, ensuring it fits snugly at the bottom to absorb all the flavorful juices as it cooks.
-
Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the hickory-flavored barbecue sauce, horseradish, mustard, salt, and pepper. Blend them together until they form a harmonious mixture bursting with flavor.
-
Coat the Brisket: Pour the prepared sauce over the brisket, ensuring it’s evenly coated on all sides. This step is crucial as it ensures every bite is infused with the delectable essence of the sauce.
-
Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Let the brisket cook slowly for 7-8 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender and succulent. The anticipation of the aromas wafting through your kitchen will be almost as delicious as the dish itself!
-
Prepare the Noodles: While the brisket is cooking, prepare the noodles according to the package instructions. Cook them until they’re al dente, then drain them thoroughly to remove excess water.
-
Slice and Serve: Once the brisket is done, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and transfer it to a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the meat thinly against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
-
Assemble the Dish: Arrange a generous portion of noodles on each serving plate, creating a comforting bed for the sliced brisket. Gently place the tender slices of brisket on top of the noodles, creating a mouthwatering masterpiece.
-
Add the Finishing Touch: Drizzle any remaining sauce from the slow cooker over the brisket and noodles, adding an extra burst of flavor and moisture to the dish. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated cheese if desired.
-

Tips:
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the barbecue sauce mixture.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer the leftover sauce in a saucepan until it reduces to your desired consistency before drizzling it over the brisket.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop for a quick and satisfying meal.
