Join the discussionIs the serving size really a half pound of brisket per person? Had hoped to serve brisket to a crowd, but is this how much I should plan for?! Does it shrink more than most meat during cooking?Or are the 5 pounds of brisket called for then divided into two freezer meals, each serving 8-10 people? Thanks!
The brisket cuts are quite large and pretty fatty so yes this is the right amount. It does shrink quite a bit though but will definitely serve quite a few people.
Just got a nice brisket that I will be making this with!
How embarrassing! We’re making this again because it was soooooo good!
Wanted to do this in the slowcooker – have you tried that? How many hours, and on high or low? Thanks!
Is there a valid substitute for beer?
You could use beef broth Diana and it should turn out fine!
I also wondered about the slow cooker. I hate yo heat up the kitchen for 5 hours
We haven’t tested this recipe for slow cooker but I have to imagine that it would be do just as well in there for 5-6 hours (or up to 8).
