I have used a variation of this recipe about 10 times since 2007. I first made this brisket a few months before my grandpa passed. The second time I made it for his funeral and due to being out for an extended time, I cooked it on 300 for about 7 hrs--- it was so tender and delicious. The family loved it and it was so good I just wanted to smack myself. I now deliberately cook it longer and on a lower temp- sometimes I do it at 325 for 5 or six hrs. Be sure to spray the tops of the veggies with some Pam to lessen overbrowning them. All in all, I love this recipe and haven't had any complaints yet- works great for pot roasts too. I use potatoes, onions, carrots and green/yellow/orange peppers but use a Beef Roasting Rub for my spices. Before serving, I had some all purpose flour to the juices to turn it brown instead of red. It's a great gravy!

I made this tonight, since I was babysitting one infant in addition to my own, I was trying to think of something easy. This is fantastic, I pretty much went by the recipe except I did not have the garlic cloves. I also only had yukon gold potatoes, I added a few pieces of chopped up celery and it was awesome. I will definately make it again, plus it was so easy and little to clean up. Total comfort food!

Before I found this receipe I already had the brisket marinating with garlic cloves, kosher salt and Lipton Onion Soup over night. I When I found this receipe and followed it, but used the cup of water to rinse the soup mix off and put it all in the bag. I also used chili sauce instead of Tomato sauce because that is what I had in the house. What a pleasure to cook and everyone loved the brisket.

Not only was it easy but the ingredients are all in your pantry. I substituted ketchup for the tomato juice and when I went to slice the brisket, I took the gravy minus the vegetables and put it in a saucepan and added beef broth to thin it out. I also cooked this ahead and waited an hour to slice the brisket. Then I put everything back in a pyrex dish and before serving warmed up covered in a 325 oven. I had people over for dinner and everyone wanted the recipe. Thanks, I took a chance without any reviews and I'm glad I did!
