Slow Cooker Beef Brisket with Tomato Gravy…One Recipe with Unlimited Meal Options

3 Comments

Posted on November 7, 2017 by Recipe Realities

Sometimes a great recipe comes along that just keeps giving and giving and giving!  This is one of those recipes that even today after years of making this, I still find new ways to use it…my Slow Cooker Beef Brisket with Tomato Gravy.  My in-house family is just two people since both my children have families of their own so this one recipe creates 3 meals for us but will still give a family of four two generous meal options.

This is a great comfort dish coming just in time for the busy holidays when you can have one recipe that makes so many options even holiday appetizers.  Plus, its done in a slow cooker so you can throw it together in the morning and it will be ready for you when you get home from work.  I usually serve the first meal with the brisket over polenta and then top with the tomato gravy.  You could even serve it the same way over mashed potatoes or white rice.  Delicious either way!

Leftovers can be used for BBQ Beef Sandwiches, French Dips, Beef Empanadas, Brisket Tacos…you name it!  Last week, I used the tomato gravy as a base and chopped up the brisket to make a delicious soup on a rainy day (the cornbread was an added bonus)!

Stir the tomato paste into the pan and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add in the butter, mustard and beef broth; scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits.  Add in the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
