BBQ Brisket

Unfortunately healthy BBQ is hard to find. We love it so much though that I still make this recipe, just not very often. This recipe is one that my mom got from my friend's mom when I was in elementary school and I've loved it ever since. There is a picture of it on the Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes recipe.

2 1/2 - 3 lbs beef brisket
3/4 tsp garlic salt
3/4 tsp celery salt
1/2 tsp onion powder
3 Tbsp liquid smoke
3/4 c BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays is the best!), divided
1/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c ketchup
Combine garlic salt, celery salt and onion powder; rub mixture onto both sides of meat. Pour liquid smoke over meat. Top with 1/4 c BBQ sauce. Cover with foil and marinate overnight.
Bake at 275-300 degrees for 5 hours. Let cool and slice thin. Mix 1/2 c BBQ sauce, brown sugar and ketchup; pour over cool meat. Put meat back in oven and bake until warm again.
Yields: 8(ish) servings
