Elaine's Brisket - The Easiest and The Best

• 5 lbs. first cut, well trimmed brisket
• 2 bottles Heinz chili sauce
• 2 envelopes Lipton onion soup

Mix last two ingredients well in a deep foil pan. Add brisket and turn over once to cover with sauce. Cover tightly with foil. Bake 350F for 2 hours. Remove foil and add 2 cups water. Bake 1 more hour.

Take the meat out and slice thinly. Cover with the sauce. Serve with potatoes of any kind.

I know this dish is almost pathetically simple but it's also a huge hit in my house, especially during Seder. Good for large groups of people, it is incredibly delicious!

*Note from the daughter - this dish is really amazing. I lugged a Rubbermaid of it back to Chicago (I’m glad I made it through security without having to explain a giant box of meat!) and it was entirely worth it.
