Ingredients
Instructions

- Mix the cream of mushroom soup and the onion soup mix together.
- Pour the soup mixture over the brisket in the baking dish.
- Cover the dish and bake at 400°F until the meat is tender, about 60 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding sliced onions or carrots to the baking dish before cooking. If you want a bit of heat, a dash of hot sauce can be stirred into the soup mixture. You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with a similar cream-based soup like cream of celery for a different taste, or even use homemade mushroom soup for a fresher flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the corned beef brisket with creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles to soak up the delicious gravy. Steamed green beans or a fresh salad make excellent sides. This dish pairs beautifully with the Ohio Grange Cookbook Chili for a comforting meal option. Don't forget some crusty bread on the side to mop up any remaining sauce!
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, allow the corned beef to cool completely before placing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for 3-4 days. When reheating, place the brisket in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through, which helps retain moisture.
