Really enjoyed the flavor of the brisket with the gravy. Added the gravy to mashed potatoes, too, but it ended up being overload. Almost too sweet to have so much of it at one time.

This was wonderful! My family really enjoyed this dish. Only thing different I did was add a can of mushrooms (drained) as I did not have fresh and when making the gravy I added a can of beef broth as it was to thick for my liking. Will make this again! Plan on trying the recipie with beef roast next time.
