Easiest (and Best) Old-Fashioned Brisket Recipe
Total time
Author: Momma Chef
Serves: 6-8
- 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
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Place the brisket in a disposable pan or slower cooker.
- Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the brisket, and top with the chili sauce and ketchup.
- Add the mushrooms, if using, pour the Coca-Cola over everything, and add 1⁄2 cup of water.
- 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.
- Remove the brisket from the oven or slow cooker, and let the brisket come to room temperature before slicing. This takes about 30 minutes.
- Cut the brisket against the grain before serving.
- Keep fat on the brisket to flavor while cooking and trim off when finished and slicing.
- Make sure to cut against the grain, the butcher will show this to you (tip for all beef).
- Do not use Diet Coke..only regular Coke.
- If you want extra sauce for gravy, you can add ½ cup water after 2 hours of cooking to the bottom of the pan.
