"I'm formerly from Kansas City and they are the KINGS OF BRISKET! This is a great recipe. [I have used this recipe and I'm not positive on the servings; it depends how hungry your crowd is! I am guessing at 4-6]"

Questions & Replies

This may be a stupid question, but when refrigerating and cooking, you write "wrap in foil" - am I just wrapping the meat in a foil packet or am I covering a roasting pan? I can see how wrapping just the meat could make the meat very tender.

Wow, I can't believe I never reviewed this recipe! I've been making this for a couple of years now and it's a family favorite! My husband, who is from KC, says the only difference between this and authentic KC briskets is the meat itself! I guess you just can't get the same beef here in CA.
