Truly awesome!! Couldn't be easier...put it on at 9am & it was falling apart tender at 6pm. I did put 2 sliced onions under the brisket & since I only had 1 bottle of chili sauce in the pantry. I threw in a can of beer. I really don't know how you can mess this up. Thanks for an great recipe.

This recipe was very easy to make. My family loved it! My co-workers loved it as well. The only thing I did differently was use beef bouillon and dried onion in place of the onion soup mix (I was out). Oh, I also added a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. I'd make it again.

I was so happy to see this recipe-- because I was looking to make my grandmother's brisket recipe (almost identical to this one- with the Heinz Chili Sauce) but I wanted to make it in a slow cooker, which I had never done. Omigod- it came out so much better than I had ever made it in the past... and I didn't have to keep basting it every hour, I didn't even touch it for 11 hours and it was so tender and amazing. My changes were-- since I am temporarily living in Australia had to make my own Heinz chili sauce-- got recipe from http://www.recipezaar.com/192123-- then did not add onion soup mix, and added a lot of kind of thick sliced onion under the brisket and on top. It came out so amazing. Note-- the brisket was so big I had to fold it up the sides of the crockpot-- but it shrunk so much it was perfect. I'll never make brisket in the oven again! I served it with a sweet potato casserole which was mashed sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows and sweetened flaked coconut and baked.

This is a wonderful recipe whether or not you are Jewish. The meat comes out fork tender, and the sauce is beautiful. I cooked it as part of an effort to introduce my young granddaughter to Jewish cuisine (she is four, and no other Jewish family members, so I am feeling my way here). It pleased the family -- but the four year old reaction was typical. A "polite bite" but nothing more. Maybe she will appreciate it in a year or so. Anyway, this is a wonderful, super-easy recipe to leave cooking if you have a busy day, and want to come home to a savory meal. The best.

This recipe was excellent! My family really enjoyed it. The meat was tender and fell apart nicely! The only thing I did differently was I added 1/4 cup of brown sugar to make the gravy a bit sweeter. I added fresh mushrooms ,and onions then served it over extra wide noodles yummy! Thanks for a great recipe. I will make this again for Passover this year!

I actually don't eat beef, but have made this several times for my meat-loving husband, kids and in-laws for holidays and they have gobbled it up with rave reviews. Couldn't be simpler!

Well after reading all the 5 and 4 star reviews the other day, I was expecting to come home to a wonderful dinner and then coming here raving about it. I was sure diappointed. I made sure to buy the Heinz Chili Sauce, when when looking at the ingredients it is basically just ketchup but a little different. We really didn't care for the sauce it makes and it was too sweet for us. Maybe sweet BBQ sauce lovers will like this recipe. The meat wasn't too bad, but wasn't great either. And I made the mistake of putting potatoes in with it, they soaked up that sauce and tasted yuky. Very very disappointed I made this recipe. Will not make again.

So good and so easy! Will make it again and again!

The recipe seemed a bit sour to me, but my friends really enjoyed the recipe.

This was east and delicious. I like the tangy sauce that it makes..it's great over mashed potatoes. It's the perfect Sunday comfort meal. The brisket comes out very tender. I had mine on low for the full 12 hours.

I am making this for the second time! This was a great dish to make ahead of time for a party-- I sliced up the brisket after it cooked - along with the sauce - then showed up to the party with a basket of rolls so as an appetizer - you could take the small rolls and put the brisket on them. Everyone loved this dish - and when the brisket was gone some were just dipping leftover rolls in the remaining sauce! Very tasty and EASY!!!

Outstanding.I used a fresh onion sliced and forgot the garlic powder. The brisket was so good I gained 2 pounds with the potato latkes.. Will use this again and again.

This is the easiest brisket recipe ever! I agree with other reviewers, make absolutely sure you have chili sauce, not cocktail sauce!!! Big difference! I made it for a bunch of guys and used a huge brisket from sam's and there wasn't a shred left. It's even better if you make it a day ahead and reheat to allow time for the flavors to blend.

This was pretty good, but I ended up adding about 1/4 cup brown sugar towards the end to counteract the vinegary taste from the chili sauce. Maybe it's because I used store brand and not the Heinz brand chili sauce? I don't know. I cooked for 7 hours on low, then added the sugar and turned it to high for 1/2 hour. By then, the meat was falling apart so I couldn't slice it properly. We ended up eating shredded meat! It was very tasty and easy to do.

This was fantastic - I only cooked my meat for about 5~6 hours and it was done, so the time definitely depends on the type of meat you buy and how large it is. The sauce was awesome on top of mashed potatoes though!!

This was REALLY good. It smelled great and tasted terrific over egg noodles. Definitely give it a try! But, I only cooked it for 7 hours and it was plenty tender....any more and it would have dried out.

This is a REALLY good recipe—and if you don't like chili sauce, mix up some brown gravy mix or whatever...
