Things Go Better with Coke Brisket
1 (4 pound) beef brisket
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
salt, pepper
2 crushed garlic cloves
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup hot water
1 tablespoon onion soup powder
1 package (1 1/2 oz. or 30-60 g. package) dry spaghetti sauce mix
1 cup cola
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Place meat in a large roasting pan and rub oil on all sides.
Sprinkle on onions and celery.
Season with salt, pepper and paprika.
Place crushed garlic on top.
Mix ketchup with hot water, onion soup powder and dry spaghetti mix to dissolve dry ingredients.
Add cola and pour mixture over meat.
Roast 2 1/2 to 3 hours, covered with foil, opening to baste every 20-30 minutes.
Serve sliced when done, or slice entire brisket and reheat in gravy next day (30 minutes in a 350 F. oven for extra tender slices).
Serves 6-8.
