Hickory BBQ Brisket Sandwiches
  1. 1

    Combine celery salt, pepper, salt, garlic salt, and onion salt in a small bowl; mix in Worcestershire sauce. Rub the mixture all over the beef brisket.

  2. 2

    Set the brisket in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low until the beef is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork, about 8 hours.

  3. 3

    Move the beef to a cutting board; use two forks to shred it into small pieces.

  4. 4

    Pour 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan. Stir in Russian dressing and barbeque sauce; bring to a boil.

  5. 5

    Put the shredded beef back in the slow cooker. Add the barbeque mixture, cover, and cook on Low until the flavors meld, about 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Serve the beef and sauce on rolls.
