(Speaking of
pans...Did you hear the story about the
newlywed who asked her mother why her
brisket recipe required the ends be removed
before cooking? Mom replied, "Because that's
the way my mother did it." When the bride
called her grandmother with the question,
Nana replied, "I never had a pot that was
big enough for the whole brisket!")
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread celery
and onions on bottom of pan just large
enough to hold brisket.
Season both
sides of brisket with salt, pepper and
garlic powder. Place brisket on top of
vegetables, fat side up.
Pour chili
sauce over brisket. Fill chili bottle with
water, cover and shake, pour around brisket.
Place foil
very lightly over meat. Bake 3 hours. Pour
beer around brisket, cover tightly, bake
additional 1 1/2 hours.
Cut against
the grain before serving. |
