I’ve been cooking for a while and have come up with some really tasty recipes. None of them are better than my easy smoked brisket. This Easy Smoked Brisket recipe is great to cook at home and simple for BBQ beginners. If you’ve wanted to try to cook brisket but never thought you could get the hang of it, this is the recipe for you!
I cooked this brisket the other day and it was so simple. Not much trimming, just a little seasoning, and then my Traeger Timberline 1300 worked its magic. This recipe is perfect when you’re feeding a big crowd on game day for a family get-together. Read on to learn how to make smoked brisket that will melt in your mouth with delicious, spicy flavor. Only you will know how easy it was!
I set my Traeger Timberline 1300 to 250 degrees F to cook this brisket low and slow all night long.
I took a video of the beginning-to-end process of me making this brisket recipe. Here’s the rundown of instructions.
That’s all there is to it. Now it’s time to eat!
Man, this brisket was full of juicy goodness I could see as soon as I cut into it. It had movement and a great color.
The first bite had me saying “damn good” because there was no other way to express how flavorful, juicy, and out-and-out mouth watering this brisket was.
Most people eat between 4 and 8 ounces of brisket along with a couple of side dishes. As big as this brisket is, it will go a long way and serve a lot of people.
Let it cool and store it in a ziplock baggie or an airtight bowl. It’ll keep in the refrigerator for 3 days.
There are several ways to use leftover brisket. Add it to baked beans, put it on a bun, or use it to make tacos or nachos. Brisket adds spicy, tender flavor to just about anything.
