Beef Brisket and a Hoo Rag Giveaway

I tried 2 new things for our dinner tonight. I had never cooked a beef brisket in the slow cooker and I also had never worn a Hoo Rag. Both of those things turned out really well! I am sharing them here this week and thanks to the kind folks at Hoo Rag a lucky reader can pick up 2 pretty Hoo Rags for themselves and a $25 Amazon gift card!

When the folks at Hoo Rag contacted me about trying one of their bandanas as I was cooking, I admit I had to visit their website to see what they were all about as I’d never heard of them. What I found was a versatile seamless bandana in a variety of colors and patterns with ones suited for both the guys and ladies. I also saw a ton of ways to wear them- as headband to keep your hair back when cooking, as a sweat band when working out, as a face bandana for working or motorcyclists, and it will even fold into a ponytail holder! I was impressed but thought I would talk to some real people and I got great feedback as well. Milehimama said she even used them to make a baggie for her kids’ rock collections from the park.

I couldn’t believe how many industries and walks of life and all the purposes for a Hoo Rag! I used the yellow one as to pull my hair back as I was making the brisket. It was easy to put on and slip over my head. It worked great! It slipped just a little, but I will qualify that I do have a big head. It is definitely something I will keep using and will come in handy for pulling my hair back on busy Mom days! I’m excited to be able to bring you 2 Hoo Rags in 2 great colors- pink and purple! The giveaway is at the end of this post- 2 Hoo Rags so that you can use one for working out or working or cooking and another for a cute go to headband or ponytail holder. I’ve paired it with an Amazon gift card for an awesome giveaway exclusive to Sparkles and a Stove!

Here is me using the yellow Hoo Rag slicing this awesome brisket! (I know I need to get my roots done haha!)

Beef brisket when it’s cooked correctly is so tender that it can be cut with a fork and has so much flavor that your mouth will water. Then when you add the ease of doing it in the slow cooker which I love as some of my favorite recipes come from there (like this slow cooker Mexican chicken) it’s an unbeatable combination and a delicious family dinner on a busy night or a great addition to a party buffet.

The beef brisket was easy to prepare and drop in in the crock pot. When it was done it I sliced through it like butter and the flavor was amazing- slightly onion mixed with the tang of the barbecue sauce and apple cider. My only recommendation is to use fresh brisket and not corned. It was just a tad salty with the corned beef. We had it the next day with sliced beef brisket sandwiches though! This is a flavorful beef brisket recipe and a low maintenance dinner when you need a busy night or party go to!

Here’s the giveaway!
