How to Make Cranberry Pot Roast Brisket

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Sprinkle the brisket generously with 1 tablespoon of garlic salt.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 packet (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix, 1 (12 ounce) jar of cranberry sauce, and 1 cup of water.
  3. Place the brisket in a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven. Pour the cranberry sauce mixture over the brisket, ensuring it's mostly submerged.
  4. Cover the pot tightly with a lid. Transfer to a preheated oven and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the brisket is fork-tender. (For a crockpot, follow step 2, then place brisket in crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.)
  5. Once the brisket is cooked through, remove it from the pot and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing against the grain. Skim any excess fat from the cooking liquid. You can thicken the cooking liquid by simmering it uncovered for a few minutes to create a delicious gravy.
