Creole Oven Brisket

If you don't have a smoker to make brisket, the oven is a good second choice. An easy way to make this is to set the oven to 225 degrees and let the brisket cook overnight or while you're at work. It makes a nice au jus you can prepare "BBQ French Dips" with, or just slice it and serve it with Cajun Coleslaw (#117204).
