 Directions

Preheat the oven to 325° with the rack in the lower third but NOT in the
bottom position. Place the brisket in the cooking bag, and place the bag in
a shallow roasting pan large enough to hold it comfortably. Add the water,
onions, celery, chili sauce, garlic, bay leaves, brown sugar, mustard, soy
sauce, vinegar, molasses and beer to the bag. Seal the bag and puncture the
top in several places with a knife. Bake for 3 hours.

At the end of the cooking time, remove the pan from the oven and let the
brisket cool slightly. Cut open the bag and remove the meat. Pour the sauce
into a metal bowl.

Discard the bay leaves. Place the sauce in the refrigerator or freezer
until cold and the fat congeals on top. Slice the meat and refrigerate
until ready to serve.

Skim the fat off the sauce, then place the sauce and the meat in a
casserole or heatproof serving dish. Add the paprika and the precooked
potatoes, coer and reheat on top of the stove or in the oven at 400° for 20
minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

This can be made the day before. Slice the meat, cover and refrigerate.
Before reheating skim the hardened fat off the cooking liquid. Layer the
meat and liquid in a pan, cover and heat in a 350° oven for 30 minutes or
until hot. Using the same method, this can be frozen. Consider freezing in
single-serving portions.

”¹”¹”¹”¹”¹ Notes: Don't be put off by the long list of ingredients. Once you're
done shopping, there isn't much work to do. The preparation is
straightforward, the cleanup almost non-existant (due to the use of a
cooking bag), and the result is delicious. This makes a lot, which is good
because you'll be glad for any leftovers. Brisket sandwiches, hash Å  yum!!
