Simple Pantry Brisket (Oven or Crock Pot)
"This is so simple: ketchup, beer and dry onion soup mix. Makes a nice, sweet sauce. I love how easy it is to make brisket and have many recipes from all over! You can make this in the oven or in a crock pot! I'll give instructions both ways. I like to serve with egg noodles or rice."

ingredients
- 1 (3 -4 lb) beef brisket
- 1 (16 -24 ounce) can beer

- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet dry onion soup mix (I like Lipton)
directions
- Put brisket, fat side up, in roasting pan or crock pot.
- Mix together the beer, ketchup and onion soup packet and pour over brisket.
- If Baking, Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cook for 3-4 hours or until fork tender.
- For crock pot preparation, prepare the meat the same way, but cook on low for 6-7 hours; cooking until fork tender.
- Remove brisket from sauce and place on a cutting board. Let meat cool down a bit.
- Trim off fat by cutting away with a sharp knife.
- I like to skim the fat off the sauce. You can use a fat skimmer or let it harden in the refrigerator at remove the hard fat that is congealed on top with a spoon.
- Slice meat against the grain and serve with the sauce.
- Note* I like to skim the fat from the sauce. You can use a fat skimmer or let the sauce harden in the refrigerator. Remove the hard fat that is congealed on top with a spoon.
- Heat and serve.

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>
