Ingredients

Scale

6 Pound Brisket, trimmed of most fat

  • 1 Bottle chili sauce (spicy ketchup works too)
  • 1 Onion
  • Beef broth
  • Chili powder
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Prepare the pan: Slice the onion into thin rings and layer them at the bottom of the pan, reserving a few rings.
  3. Season the brisket: Place the trimmed brisket in the pan, fat side up. Season generously with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Top with the reserved onion rings.
  4. Initial baking: Bake uncovered for about 1 hour until juices start to accumulate in the pan.
  5. Add broth: Pour enough beef broth to cover the bottom third of the brisket. Cover the pan with foil and bake for an additional 90 minutes.
  6. Final touches: Remove the foil, spread chili sauce over the brisket, and bake for another 45 minutes. Slice the brisket, return it to the pan, cover, and bake until fork-tender, about 1 hour.
  7. Serve: Enjoy your delicious Grandma’s Brisket!

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice level by choosing mild or spicy chili sauce.
  • For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the brisket overnight in the chili sauce before baking.
