Excellent base recipe. I used a chuck roast instead of the brisket which came out very tender and delicious. I also added a little bit of worstershire in the cranberry/tomato mixture for added flavor. At the end I removed the meat, skimmed the fat, added a bit of brown sugar and kosher salt to really perk up the flavor and finally some Wondra flour to thicken the gravy. The end result was fantastic! I will make this easy recipe again and again.

Awesome! I used an oven bag to cut my cook time in half also added manderine oranges for more sweet.

VERY tender made this way. The sauce was a teeny bit bland for my taste; next time, I might try using my homemade whole-berry cranberry sauce instead of the canned. It might also have benefited from a squirt of lemon juice in the sauce before pouring it over the meat.

This was OK--I felt like it was missing something. My family ate it, and liked it, though, but nothing special.

I was surprised at how good this was! I thought it'd be good but not this good. I'm not a fan of sweet sauce with meat (unless it's chinese!) but this was delicious. I added just under 1/4 c of sugar to the sauce. I also rubbed the meat with some spicy steak rub so it gave the sauce a little zing. This recipe is definitely a keeper, delicious and super easy.

Oh man. This recipe was delicious! The only thing I added was a teaspoon or two of sugar; other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. It was so easy, especially for a lot of people and once it was served several of them said it was the best brisket they've had. Try it!

This is really yummy. I used jellied cranberry sauce and made the sauce for cocktail meatballs. I found that, between the tartness of the cranberry and the acidity of the tomato sauce, I had to add about 1/4 cup sugar because of bitterness. Other than that, it was perfect perfect perfect. I'll use this recipe from now on.
