Brisket Supreme (Crock Pot or Not)

Oolala's Note:

From a community cookbook from Temple Beth Ahm in Verona, NJ called: Home Cookin'. This was submitted by Mildred Davidson. Bet most of the ingredients are in your pantry! SO simple and delicious! DH and kids really like it. I have made it in a crock pot and will give those directions too. You can add carrots to the crock pot for a more complete meal.

• Total Time: 3 hrs 35 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 3 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 ½-4 lbs beef brisket
• 1 (1 ¼ ounce) packet Lipton Onion Soup Mix
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 cup applesauce
• 1 cup red wine
• ½ cup ketchup

Directions:

1. Place brisket in a roasting pan.
2. Combine all other ingredients in a bowl and pour over the meat in the pan.
3. Bake, covered, at 350 degrees F. for 3 hours.
4. Carve the meat against the grain and put meat back into the sauce and heat another 30 minutes and serve.
5. For the crock pot:.
6. I put fresh baby carrots in the bottom of a crock pot (about 2 cups).
7. Next mix all ingredients except for the meat in a bowl.
8. Put the meat, fat side up, on top of the carrots and pour the sauce over it.
9. Cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is fork tender.
10. Remove the meat to a cutting board and let it cool there a bit. Trim the fat off the meat.
11. Slice the meat against the grain and serve with the carrots and gravy. I skim the gravy in one of those gravy skimmers.
