This is my favorite brisket recipe. It is so simple, that a child can make it! Try to make more than you think you will eat, so that you can ensure leftovers. Brisket sandwiches are great on soft white bread, toast or rolls. This freezes beautifully, so don't worry about storage!
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put the meat into a roasting pan placing the onion chunks all around the meat. Pour chili sauce and water over meat. Cover pan very tightly with foil and bake for about 3 hours. Check meat in about 1 - 1 ½ hours and add more water if the gravy gets too thick. Add potatoes after 2 hours, and cook them for the remaining hour in the juices, keeping tightly covered. 2. Make BBQ sauce, if desired. 3. Remove meat from oven and let cool completely. It is even better the next day, and much easier to slice when meat is cold, so place the cooled meat into the refrigerator and slice the next day, if possible. Slice the meat thin, across the grain, and place it back into the pan with the gravy. At this point you may freeze the meat in its gravy, or refrigerate to serve later. If using BBQ sauce, add after meat is sliced. 3. When you are planning to serve, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the meat, juices, and potato chunks into the oven, covered tightly. Bake for approximately 35-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through and the meat is hot. Serve with ketchup. If doing the BBQ sauce recipe, heat in the oven or in a pot over low heat until heated through.
