Mom's Brisket

My mother always makes enough to serve twice. Once sliced with noodles or mashed potatos and a second time over 2 slices of bread with lots of gravy to make open face sandwiches (if she can keep us from having seconds the first night). The amount of seasoning will vary with the weight and shape of the meat.

• Ready In: 2 hrs 20 mins
• Serves: 6-8

1. Season the brisket liberally on both sides with teriyaki sauce, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
