{What We Ate For Easter~} Coca Cola Brisket

I am serious~I married one crazy chef! I am SO thankful that figuring out dinner and grocery shoping is not on my 'homemaker' list of tasks to complete each week, however, He LOVES to do it~  

As we discussed what to cook this year for Easter {as my family planned to come over as usual~}, Tin Man decided he wanted to cook a brisket. {Don't ask ME too many questions about what a 'brisket' is, because all I know about it  is that it is a hunk of beef.}

He remembered years ago trying a brisket that was cooked in Coca Cola, and LOVING it.

So he did his research, and on the Coca Cola website, this is what he found. This is what we ate for Easter this year. My Tin Man scored major points all around with my family for his delicious Brisket...{whatever kind of beef that is}!

The Perfect Coca Cola Brisket:

Whole beef brisket

Bottle of chili sauce

1 pkg dry onion soup mix

1 can Coca Cola

Combine all ingredients in a large roasting pan. Cover and cook slowly at 325 degrees F until fork tender, about 3 hours.

Coca Cola Barbeque Sauce:

{Which he made for the brisket as a gravy~}

1 12 oz Coca Cola

1-1/2 Cup Ketchup

1 Cup Finely Chopped Onion 1/4 Cup Cider Vinegar

1/4 Cup Worchester Sauce

1 Tsp Chili Powder

1 Tsp Salt

Hot Pepper Sauce (Tabasco etc) to taste

Bring ingredients just to boil, then reduce to simmer for 30 to 45 minutes and sauce thickens.

Where are the pictures of the brisket you ask???

We took family pictures instead:

{Did I distract you with a family picture? ...No?!...Well, I confess-I forgot to take pictures of the brisket!!!}

Well, here is one more picture to distract you:

A big thanks to Our Kylie in Australia! She sent us a care package filled with goodies, and touched my heart by sending my littlest one his own special (allergen-free) cookies...Thank You, Kylie!!

(Who loves Tin Man's Coca Cola Brisket...even if I am not sure exactly what a 'brisket' is~)
