  • Once cooked, carefully remove the brisket from the slow cooker.

Notes

To make this Slow Cooked Brisket gluten free, verify that the onion soup mix and chili sauce are labeled gluten free. Many packaged soup mixes may contain wheat-based thickeners or gluten-containing additives, so checking the label is important.
If needed, replace the onion soup mix with a gluten-free onion soup mix or a homemade blend of dried onion flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, parsley, salt, and pepper. Beef brisket, plain garlic powder, salt, and pepper are naturally gluten free, but packaged seasonings should always be checked for cross-contact.
