Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 1 (3- to 4) pound beef brisket
  • 1 (1-ounce) envelope onion soup mix (my favorite is Lipton Onion Soup Mix)
  • 1 (12-ounce) bottle Heinz Chili Sauce
  • 2 cups ketchup
  • 1 (8-ounce) package of sliced mushrooms, optional
  • 1 (8-ounce) can of Coca-Cola
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
  2. Place the brisket in a disposable pan or slower cooker.
  3. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the brisket, and top with the chili sauce and ketchup.
  4. Add the mushrooms, if using, pour the Coca-Cola over everything, and add 1⁄2 cup of water.
  5. Bake the brisket covered in the oven for 4 hours at 300°F or in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours, until the meat is very tender.
  6. Remove the brisket from the oven or slow cooker, and let the brisket come to room temperature before slicing. This takes about 30 minutes.
  7. Cut the brisket against the grain before serving.
Tips:
  1. Keep fat on the brisket to flavor while cooking and trim off when finished and slicing.
  2. Make sure to cut against the grain, the butcher will show this to you (tip for all beef).
  3. Do not use Diet Coke..only regular Coke.
  4. If you want extra sauce for gravy, you can add ½ cup water after 2 hours of cooking to the bottom of the pan.
