  1. Prep the brisket:
     Place the brisket in the slow cooker, fat side up.
  2. Make the sauce:
     In a bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, onion soup mix, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Slow cook:
     Pour the sauce over the brisket, making sure it’s well coated.
     Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 5–6 hours, until fork-tender.
