SARASOTA'S CROCK POT BRISKET WITH LOTS OF "VEGGIES"
I love this recipes because you add lots of sweet potatoes, parsnips, crimini mushrooms, onions, white potatoes, and some turnips which I love. But you have the option to use whatever you enjoy This slow cooks and the sweetness of the brown sugar and maple syrup make this a perfect flavor for this brisket. I like to rub the marinade over the brisket and let it work overnight, then in the morning, add the sauce and add the cut vegetables to the sides of the brisket and turn on low for 10-12 hours. If you need it done quicker 7-8 on high heat. Either way it cooks and will fall apart. Serve this with a fall salad with walnuts, bleu cheese, and a nice honey vinaigrette. Very traditional, but I love it with fall roasts and of course some good crusty bread.

Steps:
- Marinade -- I mix all the marinade ingredients and rub over the brisket. Place in the crock pot, cover and put in the refrigerator overnight.
- Prepare the vegetables -- Now I prepare mine the night before and put in a large baggie so in the morning all I have to do is add them to the crock pot.
- NOTE: Amounts of the vegetables are not specific. Add what you like. I usually use this amount which works just fine. You can more or less of one particular vegetable accordingly to your taste.
- In the morning -- Just take out the crock pot and let it set for 15 to 30 minutes before you turn the crock pot on. Then add the vegetables to the sides of the meat and then the tomato/BBQ sauce mixed with the orange juice and seasoning over the meat. Then cover and set it in the crock pot and turn on high. Eight (8) hours later it is done on high. Or you can let it go 10-12 hours which is just as good on low.
- Enjoy -- I love to serve with a good Fall salad and crunchy bread.
SARASOTA'S SO-CALLED CROCKPOT BEER BRATWURST & VEGGIES
This is nothing fancy and just true comfort food. A family style platter of slow cooked carrots, onions, potatoes, bratwurst and sauerkraut, all braised in a beer broth. The crock pot works great for this or you can use any oven proof pot as well. Just a little chopping, a bottle of beer, some seasoning and you are set. Before serving, I do like to take a little of the cooking liquid, cool for a few minutes and add some sour cream, horseradish, and stone ground mustard to make a great warm sauce for the brats and vegetables.

Steps:
- Chop -- Simply cut the brats in 3 pieces each on a angle. Carrots, peel, again chop on a angle (I just like how it looks) in about 2" pieces. Onion, I use 2 large onions, rough chopped. Potatoes, small ones I leave whole, if they are large I will cut in half. Not too small or they get mushy.
- Crockpot -- Brats on the bottom with the carrots, then onions and topped with potatoes. Top all that with the sauerkraut.
- Sauce -- In a small bowl or measuring cup, add the butter and melt in the microwave for 10 seconds, remove and then add in the beer, mustard, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon black pepper and garlic. Pour over the brats and vegetables. Lay 3 springs of thyme right on top of the sauerkraut.
- Cook -- Crockpot - low 6-8 hours. My crock pot takes 7 hours, but every crockpot is different. You just want the potatoes and carrots to be tender. The brats will easily be done. Right at the end of cooking, check for seasoning. No salt was added, but the sauerkraut even though it was rinsed can be salty, so go easy. Besides you are serving a sauce with this dish which also has seasoning.
- Sauce -- This is a great compliment to this dish. You can always just serve it with some mustard, but I love this sauce served on each persons plate in a small side bowl for dipping or for pouring over the vegetables. It is similar to the consistency of gravy.
- Remove the cooking liquid to let it cool slightly before you add it to the sour cream so it does not break the sour cream. It will cool in just a few minutes. In a small bowl add the sour cream, horseradish, mustard, salt and pepper. It is a nice creamy spicy sauce to serve with the brats and vegetables. My Mom always adds more mustard to her portion, so just go by taste. I happen to love my horseradish sauce, so -- each person is unique in their own taste.

Tips:
- To achieve a more flavorful brisket, use a combination of beef broth and dry red wine as the liquid in the crock pot.
- Sear the brisket in a skillet over medium-high heat before placing it in the crock pot. This will help to develop a crispy outer layer and lock in the juices.
- Don't overcrowd the crock pot with vegetables. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Add a layer of aluminum foil on top of the brisket and vegetables before putting on the lid. This will help to keep the moisture in and prevent the brisket from drying out.
- Cook the brisket on low heat for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
- Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Sarasota's Crock Pot Brisket with Lots of Veggies is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for a family meal. The combination of tender brisket, flavorful vegetables, and rich gravy is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning, this recipe can be easily prepared in advance, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
