Slow-Cooker Coca-Cola Beef Brisket Sliders

• 2-3 pound beef brisket
• 1 can Coca-Cola
• 1/3 cup barbecue sauce- plus more for serving
• 2 Tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce (you can add more or less depending on how spicy you want it)
• salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

1. Add Coke, barbecue sauce and hot sauce to your slow cooker and stir.
2. Remove as much fat from the brisket as you can and sprinkle the meat with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add this to your slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours. Or high for 6 hours.
3. Once it is cooked, remove the meat from the pot and let it rest. Then add more barbecue sauce to the juices in the pot to thicken it up. Put your meat back in and shred it with forks.

Serve it with anything you like. We like extra sauce on the bun, onions, cheese, and pickles!

Candied Jalapeño Pimento Cheese Bites

• Ritz Crackers
• 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
• 2-3 oz cream cheese softened
• 1/2 c mayonnaise
• 3 Tablespoons chopped pimentos
• sprinkle of salt, pepper, and garlic powder
• 1 jar candied jalapeños

1. Mix the cheeses together then add the rest of the ingredients.
2. Add salt if needed.  Serve on Ritz crackers with a candied jalapeño on top.

These are some of THE BEST appetizers you will ever taste and easiest too!
