Author Yvonne @ StoneGable

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 pound beef brisket This is important- have your butcher cut the fat cap off of the beef brisket. If your butcher does not do this you can do it with a sharp knife.
  • 1 packet of Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 14 oz. can of cranberry sauce

Instructions

  • Put the brisket in the bottom of a slow cooker. Mix the Onion Soup Mix and the Cranberry Sauce together with just a little water. in a medium size bowl. Pour the mixture over the brisket.
  • Cook for 6-8 hour on or until the beef is very tender and falling apart.
  • Take the beef out of the slow cooker and shed or slice. Wrap in foil and refrigerate.
  • Put the au juice in the refrigerator until the fat separates from the liquid and forms a cap. Take off the fat cap and discard and reserve the rest of the juice as a sauce in the refrigerator.
  • To heat: Add a 1/4 cup of the au juice over the beef brisket and heat in the microwave. Heat the remainder of the au juice and serve it on the side.

Notes

Make this main dish a day or two before Christmas or party and heat just before eating.
