Yummy Beef Brisket!

It was a busy day for me today. Did a lot of things and was pretty busy. My husband was home for two days and when he is home I also slack on doing household chores, lol, because we go out usually or just have family time, bonding with the kids. Anyway, since he was home for two days our laundry was piled up so I had to do it today and you know, after you do the laundry you have to fold it, so it takes a lot of work. Meanwhile, I had to bake a beef brisket today, too for our dinner. and since it takes a while to bake it I had to put it in the oven in the morning. This brisket was half of the brisket I baked during my daughter's birthday celebration in December. Hubby was craving it so i made it today.

I got the recipe for this brisket from my mother in-law, which she also got from her father in-law from Texas. So it was passed and the recipe was proven and tested already, lol. Therefore, you can be sure of it's goodness once the brisket is cooked. Last December on my daughter's birthday celebration I baked my first brisket using my mom in-laws recipe and it came out really good. My in-laws and husband loved it. It came out really juicy and so tender that the meat just falls off. Because sometimes briskets can be dry. I was glad it turned out well then and also today.

Anyway, I had to marinate the brisket meat overnight. I marinated it with paprika,garlic powder, lots of salt and ground pepper. I have to bake it for 5 hours because it is 1 hour per pound, since I had a 5 pound brisket. Before putting it in the oven I put some liquid smoke on it and then baked it covered at 320 degrees fahrenheit. After five hours I took it out. We ate it with mashed potato and ohhhh it came out so yummy!!!:) Thank God it came out well! Credits goes to my mom in-law's and grandfather in-law's recipe.
