directions

  • In the bottom of a Dutch Oven, slice the onions and place brisket on top of them.
  • Mix the ketchup, onion soup mix, ginger ale and wine together and pour them over the meat. Note:If you want more gravy, you can add more ginger ale or water.
  • Cook for 2-3 hours until fork tender either in top of the stove or in a 350 degree F. oven. If you place meat in the oven, make sure your Dutch oven doesn't have a plastic knob on the lid (like mine does).
  • Cool and slice against the grain.

Questions & Replies

  1. I had a recipe very similar to this only it was for a crock pot/slow cooker. Has any one tried that with this recipe?

  1. I have been using this recipe (actually, a similar one) for over 20 years. Sometimes i leave out the wine an add more ginger ale as someone else suggests. However, I add potato wedges in the crock pot from the beginning and they are delicious. Sometimes I add string beans about an hour before the brisket is done. One other note, I usually wind up doubling the "sauce" to make sure it covers the brisket and potatos in my crock pot.
     
  2. I have been making this recipe for a number of years and it is always delicious. We now live in bush Alaska where there is never brisket available so I have used this recipe with many other types or beef roasts with excellent results. I never have wine on hand so I use more ginger ale. Also, I use about two good sized onions instead of 4 and I add carrots and fresh mushrooms for the last 1/2 hour. I cook small potatoes in a separate pot and add them already cooked at the last minute. I highly recommend trying it.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
