Just made this for dinner. It was excellent and so easyyyyy. It turned out soooo TENDER. I have never tried this flavor with brisket and it is different. Not like bbq brisket but more like a tangy sweet flavor. My family thoroughly enjoyed it. I used a 7.5 lb brisket. To marinade overnight i used about 3 TBS of liquid smoke and sprinkled the meat liberally with onion powder, garlic salt, and celery salt. I DOUBLED the recipe for br. sugar, mustard and garlic as i had such a large piece of meat. It did not specify how much water to use for the brown sugar only enough to make a liquid so i used 1 cup and it did make alot, (will probably use 3/4c. water next time). At first i thought it was way to much liquid b/c it came a little over halfway up the brisket but i wanted to follow the recipe exactly so i could rate it. I cooked it exactly as it said only i left it in one more hour @350 b/c my brisket was bigger. Yummy so glad i tried this one. This will be a regular here at our house. Forgot to put in potatoes but will use next time. If you are making a smaller brisket follow the recipe exactly it is perfect. Thank you Jordana and my compliments to your mama =)
