BBQ Brisket

1 tablespoon dried thyme leaves

1 tablespoon paprika

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

3 pounds beef brisket, trimmed of fat

1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce (I used sweet baby rays hickory and brown sugar)

1.Combine thyme, paprika, pepper, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, and cumin in a small bowl; set aside. Rub brisket all over with liquid smoke, then rub with spice mixture. Let sit in the fridge overnight to marinate.

2.Pour Worcestershire and barbecue sauces into a slow cooker; place beef on top. Cover, and cook on LOW 8 hours.

* This dry rub is spicy from all the cayenne so if you don't like spicy maybe only put in a 1/8 tsp or leave out all together..
