1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed (or molasses)
2-3 chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce, minced

1 cup beer (not light)
1/2 cup water
1 tab spicy brown mustard
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tab cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper


Recipe

Mix all the ingredients together. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium=low and simmer gently, uncovered, for 30 minutes, until sauce thickens. Remove from heat. Cool sauce to room temperature. Sauce can be covered and refrigerated for up to 7 days.

Directions

Trim excess fat off brisket. Rub dry rub on all sides of brisket.
In large 5 qt Slow-Cooker or Crock Pot, place seasoned beef brisket.
Top with undrained can of tomatoes and chilies. Cook, covered, on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
Take meat from slow-cooker and shred.
To the shredded brisket, add your favorite barbeque sauce or try the smoky chipotle barbecue sauce recipe below.
Heat thoroughly and serve.
1 tab adobo Sauce from can above
Or place shredded barbeque brisket in sauce in covered container in refrigerator until time to heat and serve.
Serve on buns with sides of coleslaw and Houston Spicy Tater Wedges
Houston Spicy Tater Wedges

10 medium red potatoes, scrubbed clean and cut into wedges
1/4-1/3 cup canola oil
1 tab chili powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Additional salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a large rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Mix spice mixture with oil in a large bowl. Add potatoes and toss to coat. Transfer potato mixture to the baking sheet, spreading potatoes evenly. Bake potatoes until browned and tender, tossing occasionally, 35-45 minutes, depending on size of wedges, until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. (These potatoes are also a healthy alternative to French fries-but don't tell the guys!)


Notes From Margie
The Texan BBQ Brisket can be made ahead of time and reheated. You can even toss the potato wedges together with the seasoned oil and refrigerate until time to roast. Make or buy the slaw and slice the buns. When the party starts, you're ready to go!
