Slow and Easy Brisket of Beef

1 whole beef brisket
Liquid smoke
Meat tenderizer
Celery seeds
1 cup prepared barbecue sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar

Brush entire brisket with liquid smoke. Sprinkle with meat tenderizer and celery seeds. Wrap in heavy-duty foil, sealing well to keep juices in. Place on baking sheet with edges and bake at 250 degrees F for 7 hours.

Remove from oven. Drain any drippings from pan and carefully drain drippings from inside foil wrapping to measure 3/4 cup. Remove foil from brisket; cool and refrigerate overnight.

To serve, thinly slice the meat and place in a 9 x 13-inch pan. Combine reserved drippings, barbecue sauce, ketchup and brown sugar, blending well. Pour over brisket. Cover and heat at 325 degrees F for 1 hour.

Makes 14 to 16 servings.
