Thanks for the recipe, I now make all my roasts this way not just a brisket. They have all been nice and tender just like you said this would be. Best way to prepare a roast that I have found. Thanks again for the recipe, I have already made it about 4 times and am making it today.

I have prepared the brisket of beef the same way you do for about 35 years. I got the recipe in Texas, we love it because it is so easy to prepare and so tasty. I also have put some dried herbs in it. The first time a prepared it I put sliced fresh sweet onions on top, but the dry onion soup mix is excellent I always baked it 300 but I tried your recipe and baked 250 for 5 hours it is very tender more so than the recipe I have used. Thanks Scotts Sassy Girl
