My Jewish Brisket - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (3 to 3 1/2 lb.) fresh beef brisket (but any kind of beef roast works)
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 pkg. onion soup mix
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
3/4 c. ketchup

Preparation

On a large piece of heavy foil, place the brisket.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, onion soup mix and garlic powder over the brisket.
Drizzle the ketchup over all.
Fold the foil securely around the brisket, leaving an airspace.
Place in shallow roasting pan.
Bake at 325\u00b0 for 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until brisket is tender.
Transfer brisket to a warm platter and slice.
Skim fat from sauce and serve sauce with brisket slices.
