Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix chili sauce, ketchup, Coca-Cola, and onion soup mix together in a bowl.
- Pour the mixture over the brisket, ensuring it's well coated.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake at 350°F for 3 to 4 hours until the brisket is tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the brisket in the sauce mixture overnight. If you're out of chili sauce, a mix of hot sauce and tomato paste can work as a substitute. You can also use other sodas like root beer for a unique twist. Always check the brisket halfway through cooking to ensure it remains moist, adding more sauce if necessary.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the brisket sliced thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables. You can also serve it on sandwiches with coleslaw or alongside Easy Pan Smores for a sweet finish to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover brisket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the brisket in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm it in the oven at 300°F until heated through. You can also slice it and reheat in a skillet with some of the sauce for added flavor.
