Mom's Brisket

Submitted by Sandyg61

"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."
