Nannie's Traditional Brisket

Ingredients:

4-5 lb brisket
Tony's Creole Seasoning
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup Heinz chili sauce
1 package of Lipton Onion Soup mix
2 large onions
2 beef boullion cubes
2 tbsp flour
1 cup water

Directions:

1. Buy a 4-5 pound flat brisket and trim all the fat off of both sides.

2. Place the brisket on a piece of extra heavy foil that is large enough to enclose the brisket and seal it to cook it.

3. Season both sides with Tony's Creole Seasoning or pepper.

4. Slice 2 large onions and put the rings on top of the brisket.

5. Mix 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup ketchup,1/2 cup Heinz chili sauce, and one package of Lipton Onion Soup mix and pour this evenly over the meat and onions. Bake open for one hour at 300 degrees.

6. Then close the foil and cook at 350 for 2 1/2 - 3 hours or until very tender. Put meat on platter and cover with foil and pour the juices into a pot.

7. Add 2 beef boullion cubes that have been melted in a half of a cup of water in the microwave and pour into pot. Then take 2 large tablespoons of flour and mix with about a 1/3 cup of cold water and mix it until it is smooth. Add this to the juices in the pot. Heat this until it thickens and your gravy is ready.

8. Slice the meat on the diagonal after it has cooled a little while.
