A quick holiday recipe to share....


Our friend Susan started an email recipe exchange a few weeks ago....and this recipe came to my inbox this morning. As I was reading it I was thinking it would be something quick and fun to share with my parents when they come down for christmas (they arrive next SATURDAY!?!?).

Quick and Easy Brisket

One large brisket (the uncooked kind you trim the fat off yourself)
1-2 bay leaves
2 cans pepsi
Toms Louisiana Creole Seasoning
4-6 small or 3 large onions

Directions
Preheat oven to 400
Slice onions and spread in bottom of pan
Trim excess fat off brisket (but leave some for juice and tenderness)
Place brisket on top of onions
Sprinkle seasoning over top of brisket to thoroughly cover
(If you want your brisket to have more kick, cover both sides)
Pour 2 cans of pepsi over brisket
Add bay leaves
Cook uncovered on 400 for 35-45 minutes
Cover and seal tightly with foil
Lower oven temp to 325 for an hour
Cook for an additional 2-4 hours on 250
*the longer you cook, the better your brisket will be
