I've had better. I wasn't a fan of the smoke flavor. I even put less in. It was very tender though.

This brisket is WONDERFUL! and could not be any easier to make... I even stunned my mom at how tender this brisket is... nearly falls apart and melts in your mouth. My family has asks for it to be a regular on our menus!

Very good tasting roast but would not add as much liquid smoke as called for.

I was inspired by kado's experiment and tried my own: this vs. Jewish Grandma's Best Beef Brisket. I truly expected this one to blow the other away and thank goodness I had the other because I ended up with the shoe leather further surrounded by burnt jerky. I think it was my own fault as I went for the eight hours and didn't check on it -- some crock pot fantasy that the since my oven was holding 275 perfectly, the meat was just getting more tender. From the first hour on, the house was filled with the most wonderful aroma so I'll be trying this again and aiming for 6 hours. The dried, burnt residue looks like it might have been nice drippings at one point. UPDATE: Tried again. Flour doesn't stick to the inside of roasting bags so I'm not sure what that does. Had to add beef broth at 4.5 hours, turned oven off at 5.5. Meat was tender, but not overly moist. Much better than last time, but still not what I'd hoped for. Maybe I'm just not a brisket fan.

Wonderful! A week later my husband is still bragging what a great cook I am and wanting this instead of turkey for thanksgiving! I did use 1/2 cup of beef broth & was happy w/ the a jus that was left in the bag/pan. Great for a dinner party when you want to enjoy a cocktail with your friends before the meal!!

Omg this recipe was soooooooooooo tender it fell apart no knife needed. I dont like smoked flavor so i substituted the smoked liquid with a can of campbells golden mushroom soup mixed with half a can of water and it made a terrific gravy that the brisket cooked in. My picky daughter who never eats brisket asked if i was gonna make it again tonight and she ate the little bit of leftovers that we had. Will be my brisket recipe for now on. YUMMYYYYYYYYYY

I thought this was really pretty good. Good flavor and moist enough. I also added a little beef broth and baked it in a roasting pan covered tightly with foil. I also added a lot of chopped veggies like onion, celery and carrots. When the meat was done, I took it out and cleaned off any fat then sliced it thin against the grain and returned it to the pan then kept it warm until the rest of the dinner was finished. I would for sure make this again.

I couldn't find a three pound brisket so I purchased an eight pounder and decided to experiment. Half of it went into the oven at 275 degrees - the other half went into the crockpot. I did everything like the recipe except I also added about a half cup of beef broth (someone suggested this). After 7 hours of cooking, I put them side by side and asked my husband and teenage son to critique them. The oven cooked brisket was juicier and it fell apart - my son liked it the best. The crockpot brisket sliced and had more of a texture of a roast. My husband like it the best. Me? I was pleased with both and pretty tickled at myself for the experiment.

This is one of my favorite recipes to make. My wife's Jewish and had had brisket all her life. A few years ago, she told me she wanted to make one, so I checked allrecipes and found this recipe. Since then, I've been making this whenever brisket goes on sale. Prep time is quick and it comes out oh so good :)

Good flavor but a bit dry. I would add some beef broth or cooking wine next time.

I cooked the brisket for 6 1/2 hours and it was SO dry! I should have known that I needed to add a gravy sauce or something or else it would dry out. Definitely won't use this recipe ever again! What a waste of a briskett!

Incredible. You won't believe how delicious this is. The low heat and slow cooking make for a melt-in-your- mouth brisket. I'm salivating just thinking about it!

Love this recipe. The liquid smoke makes the whole house smell great.

Oh my gosh!!! We loved this one. The meat fell apart when I tried to slice it. I realized at the last minute that I had a package of ranch soup/dip mix, not onion. Maybe this was the reason the meat was not salty enough. I also did not have a roasting bag, so I wrapped the pan tightly with foil. Excellent, fabulous, wonderful!!!!!

My carnavore (sp?) family absolutely loved this brisket. It was tender, flavorful and got rave reviews. They're begging me to make it again. The only thing I might cut back on next time is the liquid smoke! All said, it's a great recipe that I would be proud to share and will definately use again.

I don't know what the others were talking about when they said "shoeleather" and "dry"! This recipe was FABU! The only thing I did to vary it a bit was to put half a can of beef broth in the bag along with the brisket. The only reason why was because mine was trimmed of fat a bit! My boyfriend is a real "MEAT" type of guy and he LOVED it!

I was skeptical of the low heat and long cooking time, but those concerns were totally in vain. The first brisket I have ever made that was moist, tender but not stringy. I did not use liquid smoke either because we don't care for the taste but there was certainly lots of flavor. I can't imagine this ever being dry or leathery. THE ONLY WAY I WILL EVER COOK BRISKET!!

**WOW** This is the BOMB! Love this recipe! I don't know how the previous reviewer ended up with Shoe Leather??? I have used this many times with success every single time! Fork tender, great flavor and EASY! What could be better? I did make very slight additions: I used a dash of Thyme, onion powder & brown sugar (maybe 2T of Br. sugar) along with the soup mix and the rest. I put all the dry ingredients on the meat & 'patted' them in before I load it into the bag. Then I pour over the Liquid Smoke after I place it in the bag. I placed 1 whole large sweet onion in large slices over the top, then threw on Red Potatoes cut in half. Seal it up. I was short on time so I cooked at 325* for 4 hours. PERFECT!!! Rave reviews from all 8 people at the table...I call that success! I Like the potatoes this way too...makes it so easy to open the hot bag, throw together a salad, and you have dinner!
