Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Buy more brisket than you need for this meal because leftovers are great in sandwiches and on top of salads.
  • tip 2
    Even if you don’t have a smoker, you can make a tasty pepper-rubbed beef brisket. Place a 5-pound beef brisket in a 13x9x2-inch pan lined foil. Coat brisket with the pepper mixture and cover. Bake at 325°F for about 3 hours until meat thermometer reads 160°F.
