Dutch Oven Smokey Brisket

Saw this recipe in an email from KOA and it sounds good. Will have to try it.

Dutch Oven Smokey Brisket

INGREDIENTS
1 package dry onion soup mix
1 (12-ounce) jar chili sauce
1 (12-ounce) can regular Dr. Pepper
1 teaspoon natural liquid smoke
1 (4-5 pound) beef brisket

EQUIPMENT
12 inch Dutch oven and 26 hot charcoal briquettes


PREPARATION
Prepare approximately 26 charcoal briquettes or a bed of campfire coals. In a 12-inch Dutch oven place the brisket with the fat side up. Pour the ingredients over the brisket in the order listed.
Place the lid on the Dutch oven and cook with 10 coals on the bottom and 16 coals on top for 45 minutes per pound of meat. Every hour you may need to resupply with hot briquettes or coals.
This is also a great recipe to prepare at home placing the Dutch oven in a conventional oven and baking at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes per pound of meat
  • I don't use liquid smoke since I have a smoker but I've read a lot of recipes that use it. My rule of thumb from reading them all is 1 TBSP for every 2 lbs of meat. 1 teaspoon for a 4 - 5 lbs roast might not get it done. If someone jumps on this recipe, please report back.

  • So, how's your blood pressure, your heart, your weight? Or that of any one eating this?

    READ YOUR NUTRITION LABELS. How much SALT in each can? How many chemical additives?

    Scratch cooking is so much healthier. i.e., use tomatoes, use beans you've canned yourself, use onions, real onions. & you'll have a good tasting and healthy meal.

    Many a doctor, dietician, etc. will tell you to stay away from so many cans.

    A recent radio noon call in show started by talking about sugar in processed foods and drinks, the question, 'should sugar be regulated'. Discussion quickly moved to include salt and say that both are too heavily used in processed foods in Canada and should be regulated. It was the callers to did that.

  • It does sounds good, except for that darned onion soup mix. I realize it's versatile, but I just don't care for the flavor, and I think it adds too much salt. Anyone have a good alternative? Everything else sounds great, and I'm always up for a new DO recipe.
