RecipeSmoky Slow Cooker Brisket

RecipeSlow Cooker Pulled-Pork Sandwiches
These saucy sandwiches are perfect for when you have the gang over for game night. The sauce is excellent as written, but check the reviews for ideas on how to dial it up or add a touch of smokiness. -
RecipeBeer-Braised Bratwursts with Pickle Juice Slaw
A tangy cabbage and carrot slaw is a knockout topping for juicy braised then broiled bratwursts. Long pretzel rolls make an unexpected substitute for the hoagie rolls, if you can find them. -
RecipeBraised Country Style Ribs
Broiled until browned, then braised with beer and aromatic vegetables, these ribs absorb tons of flavor. The braising liquid is reduced into a sweet-and-salty sauce for glazing and drizzling over the ribs. -
RecipeBurgers with Sun-Dried-Tomato Mayo
Summer may be synonymous with burgers, but it’s not the only time you can fire one up. These burgers cook quickly under the broiler and the flavorful sun-dried tomato mayo means you won’t miss your usual tomato slice. -
RecipeMaple & Chipotle Broiler-Barbecued Chicken Thighs
This dish makes it easy to mimic the flavor of barbecued chicken with your oven broiler. Between the smoky spice rub and the sweet-hot barbecue sauce, you'll never miss the grill. -
RecipeSlow-Cooked Memphis Ribs
Slow roasting in the oven yields a rib that's just as tender and succulent as ribs cooked on a grill. Rubbed with the zesty Memphis spice blend, they’re close cousins to ribs cooked on a backyard BBQ pit. -
RecipePulled Slow-Cooker Chicken
This sauce—so good you’ll be glad to have leftovers—features less sugar than traditional barbecue sauces, but is still pleasantly sweet with a touch of heat. -
RecipeHoney-Chipotle Glazed Flank Steak
When you’re craving a little barbecue flavor in winter, this recipe does the trick. Serve with mashed sweet potatoes.

RecipeInstant Pot Brunswick Pork Sammies
Made in an Instant Pot or other multicooker, these piled-high, slaw-topped pork sandwiches hit the spot during a busy day. The pork is also great served on its own as a stew. -
RecipeSlow Cooked Mango BBQ Baby Back Ribs
Diced fresh mango, mango chutney, and mango nectar work together to give this meaty, saucy dish an amped-up fruit flavor. If you like, feel free to tailor the heat level to your taste. To simplify the recipe, use a purchased mango barbecue sauce and skip reducing the sauce after the ribs have cooked. To lacquer the ribs, broil them after you remove them from the slow cooker.
