BRISKET

Hello Foodie Friends. Today we are taking a field trip to our friend Dee's house, where she is going to teach me the secrets to her mouth watering BRISKET!!!!

When Dee was laid up following knee surgery, Penny took over some of her Lasagna and my Chili Sketti. Now she wants to return the favor. And who am I to turn down a cooking lesson???? Especially BRISKET.

 Yes Howie, I said BRISKET. Let's hop in the car and make the long drive to Dee's house. (three blocks away)

First thing we have to do upon arrival is say hello to the cute doggies

Say hello to :

 HENRY

 CHLOE

AND SIMON.... PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND'S COUSIN

LET'S GET TO COOKIN'

Start by putting a 5 to 6 pound Brisket in a pan. 

Now, pretend that Brisket is your EX-WIFE

Stab her over and over until you feel better.

(just kidding, no calls please)

Sprinkle the top with Lipton Onion Soup Mix

 Rub it into the meat

 Loved this one

Now Sprinkle GARLIC POWDER, GARLIC SALT AND PEPPER

(amounts to taste)

RUB IT ALL IN

Put 1 onion (sliced up) on top 

ADD 1 CUP OF WATER UNDER THE MEAT (¼ CUP IN EACH CORNER)

Cover and seal WELL with foil

 
Place in a pre heated 325 degree oven  

BAKE FOR 5 TO 5 ½ HOURS

IF YOU WANT TO ADD TATERS AND CARROTS, DO SO FOR THE LAST HOUR. We did not.

Now the hardest part of the afternoon

DO NOT MESS WITH IT...

LEAVE IT ALONE..LET IT COOK

DON'T TOUCH IT (really, I mean it)

Now you can play with the dogs, or have a refreshing adult beverage. I did both.

When the Brisket is done, place it on a cutting board.

SAVE the juices in a separate container (you'll thank me later)

Slice it thin and put on a serving plate.

Pour some of the juice over the Brisket (told you so)

Serve with Baked up Tater and Peas.

And don't forget the refreshing adult beverage.

As Guy Fieri says "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR"

This recipe puts the "D" in DELICIOUS. Seriously dude, you gotta make this. It is one of the simplest recipes ever. Really, TRUST ME!!!!!

Many thanks to our friend Dee for sharing this with us. (And with you) 

I love road trips, especially when it involves cooking with friends and playing with cute doggies.

See how easy cooking at home is???? Thanks for joining us.

Next up:   GAME DAY... I think we might try Mexicanese.

Live Long and Prosper and  KEEP COOKING !!!!
