Bbq Beef Brisket

• 4 lbs beef brisket, trimmed (3-5 lb brisket can be used)
• 1 1/4 ounces Lipton Onion Soup Mix (1-2 packets)
• 18 ounces barbecue sauce (I use Kraft Original BBQ, use your favorite)
• 1 (15 ounce) can cranberry sauce, jellied
• 12 gingersnap cookies (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 250u0b0.
2. Line roasting pan with enough aluminum foil to fully cover brisket (make sure the ends also have enough foil to keep the juices in the foil).
3. Lay the brisket flat in the pan with the fat side up.
4. Cover with soup mix.
5. Combine cranberry sauce and bbq sauce until blended and pour over brisket.
6. If using gingerbread cookies, pulverize in a food processor and spread over brisket.
7. Seal brisket inside foil, tenting the top up slightly.
8. Cook for 6-8 hours (can be done overnight). When fork slides into meat easily it is done.
9. Pour sauce into a container and serve as gravy on the side. Let the brisket cool until warm.
10. Shred with fork and place meat in a crock pot. One hour before serving, add 2 cups water and 1 cup sauce and turn crock pot to low heat.
