Ingredients

• 3 to 4 pounds beef brisket, cut off extra hard fat

• 2 big yellow onions, sliced thin

• 2 packets (1 ounce each) dry onion soup mix

• 1 cup low-salt beef broth

Tender Onion Beef Brisket: Directions

1. Spread sliced onions flat on the bottom of a 5- to 7-quart slow cooker. They hold up the meat and get soft and sweet in the juices.

2. Shake 1 packet of onion soup mix over the onions. This builds the gravy’s tasty start.

3. Dry the brisket with paper towels. Put it fat-side up on the onions. Fat on top keeps meat moist as it cooks.

4. Sprinkle the last packet of soup mix on top of the meat. Press it gently so it sticks.

5. Pour beef broth around the sides of the meat, not on top. It should cover just a bit of the bottom.

6. Put the lid on tight. Cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours until meat pulls apart easy with a fork. Don’t peek early—it slows cooking.

7. Move meat to a plate. Cover with foil. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes so juices stay inside.

8. Stir onions and juices in cooker. They make thick, brown gravy. For thicker gravy, cook on HIGH uncovered 15 to 20 minutes.

9. Cut meat against the grain into thick pieces. Put on warm plates.

10. Spoon onions and gravy over meat. Serve hot with extra gravy for potatoes or noodles.

Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice to soak up gravy. Add salad or green beans. Try bread to mop up juices, or carrots for a full meal.
