Beer and Brisket with this method of cooking, dutch oven on top of stove or in oven is very traditional (simmer 3 1/2 hours if you don't use slow cooker). The seasoning can differ though: Mother's reads; to dredge meat in 1/2 cup of flour and brown first. Then mix drippings, 1/4 C. Brown Sugar, 2 t. salt, 1/2 t. pepper, 1/2 t. cinnamon, 1/4 t. ginger. grated med. onion, 1/2 cup water and 8 ounces of beer. Pour over meat in cooker of choice. Soak 16 each of prunes and apricots to reconstitute and add over meat last fourth of the way of cooking. This is heaven!! - and I've put off for years letting this out of the family!

This is a great recipe, I don't know why some people gave a bad review. When I made this, I wasn't sure if all people in my family would like it because it has a lot of chilli sauce. But everybody love it and keep asking for more. I add more brown sugar to ease the chilli flavor. I am not a cook or anything, I usually buy my food but this recipe is so easy to make.

I gave this recipe 2 stars only because the meat was so tender. My family did not like the sauce/gravy at all. I followed the recipe and did not make any changes. This is not a recipe I'll make again.

Delicious! Real tender meat. Instead of chili sauce, I used ketchup and garlic powder. I also added some canned diced tomatoes because that's the way we like it. Thanks much for sharing!

I used a very similar recipe like this for my boyfriend and he loved it. ...after his 2nd and 3rd helping, I'll give it 5 stars.

This was very good. It was the first time I've made brisket. It turned out very mosit. I may actually cook it a little less next time.

This was good but I thought it would be much better. My brisket didn't slice, it shredded so we ate it on buns. Not what we had planned originally but it was okay.

This is one of the best recipes on this site! It is so easy and so good. I usually freeze the leftovers and have it the following week, my husband says this is his favorite meal I make.
