Servings: persons

2.5 pounds brisket
1 package lipton onion soup mix
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup ketchup
5 garlic cloves, crushed
1 14 ounce can of tomato sauce
2 tablespoons honey
Salt & Pepper
1 large onion, cut in large wedges
bunch of carrots, cut in large chunks
bunch of fingerling potatoes (me) or a can of white potatoes (mom)
mushrooms (optional)

1
Preheat the oven to 325
2
Rub the onion soup mix into the brisket. Place the brisket in a 13x9 pan
3
Mix the brown sugar, ketchup, garlic cloves, tomato sauce, honey in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
4
Pour the ketchup mixture over the brisket and cover the pan tightly with foil.
5
Roast for about 3 hours until it is tender when you poke it with a fork.
6
Remove from oven and slice against the grain. Return to pan.
7
If you make this the day ahead (which my mom and grandmas typically do), refrigerate overnight. The next day, continue with Step 8 after you let the brisket come to room temperature.
8
If you are not making this ahead, add the onions, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms and cover tightly again.
9
Return to the oven for 45 minutes - 1 hour until really tender and the veggies are cooked through.
10
Enjoy with family and friends!

PS - I have started serving this with a horseradish cream sauce (mix horseradish to taste with creme fraiche and a handful of minced chives and salt and pepper to test) and I recommend you do the same!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
