“This simple brisket recipe never fails me,” notes Joan Hallford of North Richland Hills, Texas. “I always hope there will be a few slices left over for sandwiches the next day.”

Ingredients

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 fresh beef brisket (5 pounds)
2 to 4 teaspoons Liquid Smoke, optional
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup barbecue sauce

Directions

Place flour in a large oven roasting bag; shake to coat bag. Rub brisket with Liquid Smoke if desired, celery seed and pepper; place in bag. Place in a roasting pan. Combine chili sauce and barbecue sauce; pour over brisket. Seal bag.
With a knife, cut six 1/2-in. slits in top of bag. Bake at 325° for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or until meat is tender. Let stand for 5 minutes. Carefully remove brisket from bag. Thinly slice meat across the grain.

This is my first time cooking a brisket and it turned out real well. I will used this again and maybe put more barbecue sauce in the recipe.I liked it the most because it was so easy.
