Just in time for summer entertaining - my favorite tips on how to make the best BBQ brisket!

If you’re like me – and a large percentage of the rest of the country – chances are you’re planning a holiday feast of some sort over Memorial weekend. Barbecue is my personal favorite, especially when it’s slow cooked and falling apart tender.

What I love about making brisket is that I can make it early in the day, and then have it ready to go for entertaining later on. Quite honestly, I love brisket warm, room temperature, or cold. I’ll eat it anyway I can get it…but shredded and piled high on a bun and covered generously with KC Masterpiece® barbecue sauce is my absolute favorite.

KC Masterpiece® is celebrating their 35th anniversary with the release of their limited edition blend, KC Masterpiece Kansas City Classic barbecue sauce. KC Masterpiece was originally created by Dr. Rich Davis in Kansas City in 1978. As a midwesterner and a Kansas native, it’s fun for me to talk about a product that has its roots so close to home. I love how rich and thick their sauces are – they’re great for broiling, baking, and grilling!

Making a great BBQ brisket is easy – you just need to plan ahead to (1) allow for marinating time; and (2) allow for a long cooking time. Cooking for a long time (about 8 hours) on a low temperature, is the trick to getting tender, juicy brisket.

My mom makes the best BBQ brisket, and I finally wrangled her “recipe” to share with you here. Although truth be told, it’s more of a technique than a recipe, since I didn’t measure a darn thing. 😉

I’ve always been a little intimidated to try making brisket myself, but this was so good, and so easy! Trust me, you’ll want to give this recipe a try!

How to Make the Best BBQ Brisket
 
Print
Ingredients
  • 1 beef brisket, trimmed of all fat (about 6 pounds)
  • liquid smoke
  • celery salt
  • garlic salt
  • onion salt
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 bottle KC Masterpiece Classic BBQ Sauce
Method
  1. Lay out a large piece of heavy foil (big enough to cover the entire brisket) and place the brisket in the middle. Generously cover the top and the bottom of the brisket with liquid smoke - I used about half a bottle on mine.
  2. Next, sprinkle the celery salt, garlic salt, onion salt, salt and pepper on both sides of the brisket. Again, be generous. I did not measure my spices - I just sprinkled them on evenly until the brisket was well covered. Wrap up tightly with foil and place on a jelly roll pie or large baking dish. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  3. Remove from the refrigerator and cover well with KC Masterpiece Classic BBQ Sauce - I used the whole darn bottle!
  4. Wrap back up and bake for 8 hours at 250 degrees. Check tenderness when brisket has been cooking several hours: stick in two forks and pull in opposite directions - the meat should come apart easily.

Hello There!

Interestingly enough, I didn’t grow up with an interest in cooking.  In fact, I informed my mother on multiple occasions that I was not getting an advanced education so I could spend my evenings preparing meals.
