I have tried and tried to make a good, tender brisket for years with no luck. Why then did I think it was a good idea to attempt brisket once again for Christmas dinner where I was responsible for feeding my entire extended family? Because that’s what I do. YOLO.

Luck was on my side because I found the perfect, simple brisket recipe and it was AH-MAZ-ING. I’m talking fall-apart fork tender yumminess. It was so good, I’ve made it again since Christmas. It will definitely be in the dinner rotation from here on out. I combined three different recipes to come up with the final delicious product so I thought I would share my concoction here for you, my internet friends.

As for the rest of the week, here is what we are planning for dinner. Here’s hoping it’s as good as the brisket!
