This was a very nice recipe that is very similar to pot roast. I had a thin-cut brisket, which still took the full 3 hours to come out fork-tender. At first, I thought this would be too sweet, with the brown sugar and orange juice, but it ended up being very savory and flavorful. It was even much better the next day! There is plenty of sauce, which goes nicely over some mashed potatoes. Made for My 3 Chefs October 2013.
