TENDER BEEF BRISKET

TENDER BEEF BRISKET
"A touch of sugar mellows the flavorful sauce that’s drizzled over the brisket".

2 (3-lb) beef brisket* trimmed and cut in half
2 cups ketchup
2 small onions, chopped
¼ cup cider vinegar
2 tbsp. prepared horseradish
2 tbsp. prepared mustard
2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. pepper

Place the brisket in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over brisket. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours or until tender.

Remove the beef, set aside. Pour the sauce into a saucepan; cook, uncovered, over LOW heat for 13-15 minutes or until reduced and thickened, stirring occasionally. Slice the meat across the grain, serve with sauce.

Yield: 12 servings.
