For the Loaded Hash Browns

ingredients

  • 4 frozen hash browns
  • 1 cup cooked brisket (above), diced
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing, for topping
  • 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, for topping
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
  • Fresh chopped chives, for garnish ⠀

Method

  • Step 1

    Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a thin layer for flavor and moisture. Season the brisket generously with salt and pepper.

  • Step 2

    Drizzle one side of the brisket with half of the yellow mustard. Using your hands, rub the mustard into the brisket evenly.

  • Step 3

    Flip the brisket over and do the same on the other side with the remaining mustard.

  • Step 4

    In a bowl, mix together the beef broth, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).

  • Step 5

    Place the sliced onions and minced garlic in the bottom of the crockpot. Lay the seasoned brisket on top of the onions and garlic.

  • Step 6

    Pour the sauce mixture over the brisket, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  • Step 7

    Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 480 minutes (8 hours), or until the brisket is tender and easily shreds with a fork.

  • Step 8

    Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the crockpot and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.

  • Step 9

    Preheat oven to 400°F and cook hash browns according to package instructions.

  • Step 10

    Once cooked, spread a thin layer of ranch dressing on top of the hash browns.

  • Step 11

    Dice 1 cup of the brisket into small, bite-sized pieces and top hash browns evenly, followed by a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

  • Step 12

    Place hash browns back in the oven for 5-8 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

  • Step 13

    Remove hash browns from the oven and top with a drizzle of remaining ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, and a sprinkle of chives.

  • Step 14

    Enjoy the brisket-loaded hash browns immediately.
