DIRECTIONS
I only use first cut brisket. If I need more meat, I buy several first cut pieces. The most important thing about brisket is to remove as much fat as possible before cooking.
Trim a first cut brisket well and place in a 9×13″ pan.
Combine:
8 oz can tomato sauce
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 can red wine
Pour over brisket in pan. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees figuring 45 minutes to the pound. You can also prepare this by eliminating the tomato sauce and wine, using only the onion soup mix. Just sprinkle the dry mix over the meat in the pan. cover tightly with the foil and bake as above.
