DIRECTIONS
1. Combine ketchup, 1/4 cup (50 mL) water, honey, vinegar, sugar, hot pepper sauce, barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, garlic and onion in large slow cooker; mix well. Place beef brisket in slow cooker, turning to coat in sauce. (If meat is too large for slow cooker, cut crosswise into 2 or 3 chunks.)

2. Cook, covered, on LOW for 8 to 10 hours or until meat is very tender.

3. Remove meat from slow cooker and let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Using sharp knife, thinly slice meat across the grain. Place meat on one Kaiser half; add 1 tbsp (15 mL) sauce and cover with other Kaiser half. Serve with additional sauce for dipping.
