Crock Pot Brisket (Texas BBQ Beef): We are CRAZY over this Slow Cooker Chopped Beef Recipe. It's tender, smoky, and spicy-sweet, Perfect for Brisket Sandwiches!
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, paprika, salt, and all spices together. Rub the spice blend over the entire surface of the brisket.
Set out a large 6-8 quart slow cooker. Place the brisket in the slow cooker, cover, and set on high for 6-7 hours, or on low for 11-13 hours.
Once the brisket is fork-tender (shreddable) place it on a cutting board and slice it into thin strips, against the grain. Then chop the brisket strips into fine pieces.
Move the chopped beef brisket back into the slow cooker. Add the spicy bbq sauce to the slow cooker, and stir the chopped beef, juices, and bbq sauce together.
Cover and slow cook until ready to serve. *Give it at least 30 minutes, but the longer the beef cooks in the sauce the better.
When ready to serve, scoop the chopped beef onto the buns and top with pickles.

Notes
Look for a spicy Texas-Style BBQ Sauce. If you are sensitive to spicy you can reduce or omit the cayenne pepper, and use sweet bbq sauce.
