Brisket

     My mom used to make brisket every New Year's Day - it was something we looked forward to!  When you have an oven and time, cooking is pretty easy...

Brisket

1/2 of a large brisket
Tony Chachere's Seasoning Mix
Garlic Powder
Salt
4 cups water or beef broth

Put brisket in large roasting pan.  Cover with seasoning (you can use whatever seasoning you like).  Add 4 cups of water to bottom of pan.  Do not throw away the juice at the bottom!  You can use that as a gravy. Cover and cook at 350 degrees for about 3 hours, basting every 30 minutes or so.  I cook it until it falls apart when you stick it with a fork.

I only cook 1/2 the brisket at a time because I am not feeding that many people usually.  If you are having a large gathering, or have a big family, cook the whole thing.  Cook it at least 4 hours though!

If you have any leftovers, add bar-be-q sauce to the meat and bake it at 350 degrees for about 30-45 minutes. Put the meat into a hamburger bun or french bread.  Eat it as a pulled brisket sandwich!

Delicious!
