This is an easy, delicious one pot winter dinner passed down from my Aunt Jinny who never made anything that wasn't absolutely fabulous!!
INGREDIENTS (for 4 servings):
- 2 pounds beef brisket
- 15 gingersnap cookies, crushed
- 2 (1 ounce) packages dry onion soup mix
- 2 cups water
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle chili sauce
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 15 small red potatoes, cubed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups water
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place brisket in a 10x15 inch roasting pan. Add the crushed ginger snaps around the brisket. In a separate small bowl, combine the onion soup mix with the water. Mix well and pour over the brisket. Then pour the chili sauce over the brisket.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 hour. Add the carrots, potatoes and onion to the roasting pan around the brisket.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 1 more hour, adding water as needed when done to thin the sauce in the bottom of the pan.
