2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 large yellow onion, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions

2. In a hot skillet over medium-high heat, sear the brisket on all sides until browned.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the cranberry sauce, beef broth, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
4. Pour half of the cranberry mixture into the bottom of the slow cooker.
5. Add sliced onion and garlic on top of the sauce.
6. Place the seared brisket into the slow cooker.
7. Pour the remaining cranberry mixture over the brisket.

9. Remove the brisket from the cooker and slice against the grain.

Notes
Let the brisket rest before slicing to retain juices.
Searing the brisket adds extra flavor, but you can skip it if pressed for time.
Be sure to slice against the grain for the most tender bite.
