Hi, February greetings to one and all!  Hopefully everyone is pretty much shoveled out and ready to face a new month this time with Valentine's Day and Super Bowl recipes to share and enjoy along with our favorites.

Last month, our friend @walker was kind enough to share her delicious Slow Cooker Beef recipe (yum!).  Let's find a terrific veggie to go alongside:

Slow Cooker Brisket of Beef

1 whole well-trimmed beef brisket (about 5 lbs.)

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 large onions, cut into 1/4" slices and separated in rings

1 bottle (12 ozs) chili sauce

12 ozs. BEEF BROTH (option...Dark Ale or Water)

2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

Place brisket, fat-side down in slow cooker.  Spread garlic evenly over the brisket; sprinkle with pepper.  Arrange onions over brisket.  Combine chili sauce, BEEF BROTH, Worcestershire sauce and brown sugar in bowl; pour over brisket and onions.  Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Turn brisket over; stir onions into sauce and spoon over brisket. Cover and cook another 1-2 hours on low or until brisket is fork-tender.  Transfer brisket to cutting board; cover with foil to keep warm and let stand for 10 minutes.

Stir cooking liquid, then let stand 5 minutes to allow fat to rise.  Skim off fat and discard.  (Cooking liquid may be thinned to desired consistency with water or thickened by simmering, uncovered, in saucepan.)  Carve brisket across grain into thin slices.  Spoon cooking liquid over brisket, if desired.
