Why does ugly food taste so good? It just does! And this Slow Cooker Maple Brisket is no different. Ugly? Maybe. Delicious? For sure.

This recipe is a must for my Rosh Hashanah dinner menu. And for all my fellow jewish peeps who are making Rosh Hashanah dinner next week, you gotta try this. And if you’re not making Rosh Hashanah dinner next week, you still gotta try this! So easy, so good, and I throw everything in my slow cooker.

Can we talk about how proud I am of myself for continuing to use my slow cooker? I feel like this time last year my slow cooker had been sitting in my cabinet for yeeeeeears. It’s kind of my favorite kitchen appliance. Is it?

Anyways, try this brisket. Your family and friends will love you for it.
