I halved the meat to two pounds but did not half the other ingredients! YUMMY! Next time I will make all 4 pounds because there was nothing leftover! I'm always on the lookout for something different to cook and this dish is just that and oh so delicious! I will make this again and again! Served with mashed potatoes and green beans! Perfecto!

This brisket was delicious. It was extremely tender and moist. I made it with mashed potatoes, but will make it with sweet potatoes next time.
