We thought this was excellent! I used all the ingredients listed as recipe reads but cooked it different. I put it in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours after 6 hours I took it out and shredded it to soak up the juices for the last 2 hours. Thanks Christine. I will be making this again.

If you sub out the seasoned salt for 2tsp dry mustard and a crushed bayleaf, this is an exact match for Tom Perini's recipe (also at the food tv site via Paula Deen). He's quite famous here in TX as the owner of Perini Ranch Steakhouse, so I knew if I could trust any oven brisket recipe it would be this one. Thanks for adding it (almost!).

This is really good and so easy to throw together. I used the seasoned salt but ommitted the regular salt just b/c some people said it was too salty and I figured we could add salt to taste to the cooked meat. I also subbed paprika for half of the chili powder b/c I was worried it would be too strong of a chili powder taste for my kids. My hubby made sandwiches with it and added bbq sauce and loved it. I had mine as is and it was delicious. Thanks!

I've made this about 5 times, using Ancho Chili seasoning, and cut back on the salt.

Instead of the full tablespoon of salt I used half of that, and then used 2 cups of broth instead and my family loved this. I didn't even wipe the spices off the surface or anything before serving. I commented to my dad about how some people didn't like that, and he looked at me like he'd skin me alive if I even thought of doing that! So apparently he really liked the flavors on the top.. my family was fighting to get those 'good pieces'. Needless to say, this brisket didn't last long at the table, lol.

My brisket was just over 3 pounds, but I followed the recipe exactly as stated and it worked perfectly. My whole house smelled awesome while this was in the oven. I especially liked the kick that came from the chili powder and the black pepper & it was so tender. I received compliments from everyone who tried it. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Christine!

This recipe is truly the best! I am not into the saucy ketchupy sauces that overpower the meat. I did this recipe according to can_it_rachael's review. I grilled it the last hour turning it every 20 mins, over indirect heat. Very juicy crust on the outside and juicy, tender meat on the inside!

I had trouble finding a brisket, but I finally found one and I'm glad because this is tasty. Next time I will omit the salt and just use the seasoned salt, as it was a bit too salty for us.

This was really good. My husband loved it. I was running around all day so I ended up cooking the brisket in the slow cooker (4 hours on low I think). We made sandwiches with the brisket. After tasting the brisket as is, I did continue with my usual routine and slathered Jack Daniel's Sauce on my sandwich. I know its a sin but I wasn't raised to eat beef. My finished product was YUMMY!

I hope I can stop licking my plate long enough to write this review! I made the recipe as written and finished the last hour of cook time on the grill using indirect heat. WOW! Hubby and daughter stuffed themselves and I have to say that the only bad thing about this brisket, is that we were too full to take our evening walk!!I have been known to eat leftover pizza for breakfast, but I think I will have a brisket sandwich come day light. :D

I have cooked many briskets in my life but never had one turn out as delicious and fall-apart tender as this one. Briskets are hard to find in Southeastern Tennessee...when I ask a butcher, they always show me a Corned Beef Brisket. So when I found a 6# flat beef brisket a few weeks ago, I snatched it up and put it in the freezer for a special occasion dinner. Then along came this recipe and Easter dinner at the same time so I made the brisket exactly as the recipe called for, except I didn't allow for the extra 2# pounds of my brisket. So there was way too much sauce for the too-small roasting pan which made a big mess in my oven. The brisket was so juicy it didn't need the added beef broth. All that said, this was the most delicious brisket ever. Everyone in my large family was raving about it!! There is only enough leftover (I had to hide it) for some BBQ sandwiches tonight. This is the only way I will ever cook brisket again. By the way, this is my first review...I was never moved by a recipe to write one before.

Our brisket didn't turn out as tender as others. I thought the recipe was just okay. I felt like it was a bit spicy too.

Tried this for the first time this evening. Definitely too much chili powder. I'd cut that in at least 1/2 next time. Other than that it was OK, nothing great. Made a gravy with pan drippings which was good drizzled over the meat. Had garlic rolls, mashed potatoes, and green beans along with it.

This recipe was exactly what I was looking for.Excellent!I added 1 tablespoon smoked paprika and rubbed the mixture onto the brisket.Then sprinkled liquid smoke ontop.After cooking at 350 for 1 hour in my roaster uncovered I added the beef broth and covered it then reduced the temp to 220 and cooked for about 4 hours. Then at that point it shredded beautifully and was so moist and flavorful it did't even need sauce although bbq sauce would be great!

This was my first time making brisket. The meat got very tender and was juicy. I did think the chili powder was a little too dominant, but other than that it was great. I made a sauce out of the drippings by adding flour, cooking that, adding water and a splash of white wine vinegar (thinking it would make it a little like bbq sauce). The sauce was great too. Thanks ChristineD!

What an easy recipe! Really delicious. I was concerned with previous reviewers' comments about it being too salty or spicy so I cut the seasonings in half. Still it cooked down very nicely. I think if I added the other half of the seasonings it would have still been good. This one is a keeper. The hubby loved it. Lots of options-made sandwiches & Southwest burritos/tacos.
