Today I’m sharing this recipe for Shredded Tex-Mex Barbecue Beef Sliders, made in my new Slow Cooker. Plus a big Thank you to Hamilton Beach for providing a Set ‘n Forget® 6 Qt. Programmable Slow Cooker With Spoon/Lid to giveaway! (Details at the bottom of the post- giveaway over.)
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but I haven’t had a new slow cooker recipe on the blog since February. We had a little mishap while cleaning the cooking container… Yep, it was dropped! (I’ve been meaning to purchase a replacement insert, but every time I sit down to order it, I keep getting sidetracked. I wonder how that happens?)
I felt incredibly blessed when Hamilton Beach asked me if I wanted to try out their new Set & Forget® Programmable Slow Cooker. Of course I did! They even offered a 2nd slow cooker for me to give away on the blog if I liked it.
Liked it? I big puffy heart loved it! This slow cooker is so much nicer than my old one. (My old one was a wedding gift from 1998, so there were no fancy features on it.) This slow cooker has a programmable timer so you can program the cooking time and the Set & Forget® Slow Cooker automatically shifts to keep warm when the cooking time is up.
With my old slow cooker, I would use a separate digital thermometer to make sure any meats had been cooked to the desired temperature. The Set & Forget® Slow Cooker comes with a probe/thermometer already built into the machine! Set the desired temperature and the slow cooker will change to warm once the temp has been reached.
To test out the slow cooker, I decided to slow cook a small brisket. Love this recipe! It came out so yummy!

A delicious and easy way to make a Barbecue Brisket!
Ingredients
- 3.5 lbs Brisket
- 1 jar (14 oz.) Your favorite BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup Onion, Chopped
- 1 Envelope Chili Seasoning (as spicy as you like it)

Instructions
- Cut Brisket into smaller pieces if needed to fit into slow cooker, place in the slow cooker.

My favorite recipe in the Crock Pot/Slow Cooker is Buffalo Chicken. This is delish as a main course or as a shredded chicken sandwich. While your recipe above looks absolutely wonderful, my husband cannot process beef (suffers from disease called Gastroparesis – literally translated: Stomach paralysis) very easily, so it is an EXTREMELY rare occasion that I get to cook with it.
Sharon Eshlaman says
My son has a lot of barn parties with slow cookers lined up along the wall filled with pork,etc. what a good idea for a giveaway!

Oh, that sandwich looks delicious! We just made sloppy joe dip in the slow cooker the other night, and it was delicious. I think it will be one of our favorites. I like making just about any kind of chicken in the slow cooker. There are so many yummy ways to prepare every variety of chicken cut.
