{Guest Post Friday} Across the Pond Beef Brisket

Happy Friday Loves!

I'm happy to announce I am feeling MUCH better after suffering from the dreaded flu all week {sorry for the lack of posts}, but I have a guest post today that will completely make up for my absence!

Megan from the amazing blog Across the Pond has been a favorite of mine FOREVER now.  No she doesn't have a food blog, but once an LA native, she shares her journey "across the pond" {yeah, get it now?} to a brand new life in Scotland and she'll makes you laugh every second of the way.

Oh and did I mention?  She used to model.

Gorgeous.

So please welcome the super fun former Californian turned Scotlander {hmm a word??} as my guest blogger today!

Hello blogettes (assuming most of you are women)

I am Megan from Across The Pond..

and if you know me..

you are probably like..

uhm

Kelly,

you do know that Megan gorges herself on cheetos and bacon daily..how is she even capable of guest posting here..??

well you people are wrong..

jk you are totally right..

oh hi, that is all for me. Welcome to America.

I decided for the sake of Kelly's blog..

and occasionally my arteries,

that I would share with you my easy, healthy, secret brisket recipe.

You are welcome.

*Beef brisket (aka the easiest thing you will ever make that your husband/bf/dog will LOVE you for)

 

4-5 lb fresh beef brisket (although any size will be fine)

1 tsp salt

1/2 Cup Ketchup

1/4 Cup white vinegar

1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 packet onion soup mix

1 jar Chili Sauce

2 Cups Beef or Chicken Broth

1 Bay leaf

Heat oven to 325 degrees (unless putting in slow cooker)

Rub surface of beef with salt.  Place in ungreased rectangular pan, 13 x 9 x 2 inches. 

Mix all ingredients and pour over beef.

Cover and bake about 3 hours or until beef is tender

Cut thin diagonal slices across grain at an angle from 2 or 3 "faces" of beef.  Spoon any remaining pan juices over sliced beef if desired.

Remove bay leaf

BUT DO IT IN A SLOW COOKER on low for 8-9 hours or high for 4 hours.

I served mine with french beans cooked in a skillet with garlic and lemon juice

and mashed potatoes with about a mound of butter and cream..

I know.

I did the best I could on the health front. 

so sue me.
