Stash a Brisket in Your Freezer and Bookmark These Smart, Easy Recipes
Brisket is magical. The inexpensive cut of meat may start out super tough, but when cooked low and slow—say in a slow cooker, or all day in a dutch oven—it becomes meltingly soft and mild, absorbing whatever flavors it's cooked in.
It's great for a low-fuss dinner. You can fill taco shells with it, pile it on a bun, or serve it BBQ style with your favorite side dishes. It's also great for filling out casseroles or adding a little meat to a pasta sauce. And it keeps well in the fridge, so you can enjoy leftover for days.
See? Magical.
