Wonderful recipe - ran out of Heinz sauce for my favorite brisket recipe. Prepared sauce as directed. Delicious. I added extra 1/2 tsp chili powder and 1/8 pepper, and oh boy what a kick! Had to add more tomato paste and corn syrup. Be careful with proportions of spices and seasoning. I advise: follow recipe as written but start with less chili powder and cayenne especially if you use high quality, strong chili powder like I do. Adjust for your family's taste. Best brisket ever.

Great Scotts! I replaced the nasty evil corn syrup with a real dark brown sugar(smokey taste & caramel color), 1/4 cup of apple vinegar with Tabasco( taste & natural preservative), added ketchup to get the Heinz flavor, & chili powder for chili. I do add whiskey to my chili or beer and that really kicks up the flavor too. I will be using celery salt, dill weed,smoked cumin, chipotle powder, fresh minced garlic, fresh minced onion, and maybe off brand sriracha.

I made this tonight and it was awesome. I did make a few changes based on some previous reviews. I substituted 1/3cup of brown sugar for the corn syrup, onion powder for the flakes. I left out the Worcestershire sauce and red chili pepper flakes. It had the exact taste of chili sauce. I combined it with grape jelly and made a delicious sauce for homemade meatballs. This is definitely a keeper, thanks for sharing.
