This fork-tender brisket is just as good when cooked a day ahead, refrigerated and reheated. I like to serve it with mashed potatoes, rice or noodles to take advantage of the flavorful sauce. -Wendy Kiehn Sebring, Florida

Ingredients

1 fresh beef brisket (3 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

I always have a hard time making beef flavorful and this recipe does it! I adjusted the spiciness by doing 1/2 chili sauce & 1/2 ketchup and only doing a little chili powder. I also added baby carrots & celery with the onions & used corn startch/water instead of flour. It was so yummy & the best homemade beef I've had!

This is absolutely wonderful for a family gathering, especially if you like a little "kick" in the flavor!

carysangel, there is no temperature mentioned because it is cooked on top of the stove, not put into the oven.
