Barbecued Brisket

Submitted by pines506

"I think this is from an old Taste of Home...This is the best brisket I've tried. It just melts in your mouth. I did bake it closer to 3 1/2 hours before the sauce went on and 2 hours after. By the time I took it out it was falling apart tender."

Excellent, I cooked it in the crock pot and it was excellent left over for sandwiches. Thanks for a keeper!
