The beef freezes pretty well and makes a great dinner one night of the week. Pair with your favorite sides for a simple and tasty freezer meal dinner.
Can I Make This With A Beef Roast Instead of Brisket
If you can’t get your hands on brisket you can for sure use a beef roast instead. You would just adjust the cook time to 6-8 hours. Once roast is done, smother in sauce and then let cook an additional 30 minutes like the brisket.
It would serve up the same way. You might find the beef roast to kind of fall apart since it will be tender. But it is great for making into a sandwich, topping rice, serving with your favorite sides, etc.
