Beef Brisket Crock-Pot

Pfhantastic Cook's Note:

This recipe was developed and given to me by a good friend. This is the way that my friend's mother and sister make beef brisket. This recipe is so good! Gravy comes out brown and slightly sweet. Brisket will melt in your mouth.

I tried this tonight and it was amazing. My dad used to make beef stew with Coca-Cola as his "secret ingredient" so when I saw that in this recipe I just had to try it. It makes the meat so tender. It just melts in your mouth. Perfect balance of sweet and savory. Great recipe! Also, as a new mom, I appreciated the payoff of a delicious meal without much prep time!
