How to Make Super Easy Beef Brisket

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with a double layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang to create a tight seal.
  3. Place a 3-4 lb beef brisket, fat side down, in the center of the prepared foil.
  4. Sprinkle the brisket evenly with 1 packet (1 ounce) of dry onion soup mix.
  5. Generously pour 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce over the soup mix.
  6. Fold the foil over the brisket, completely enclosing it. Crimp the edges tightly to create a sealed packet.
  7. Place the foil packet on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 5 hours (300 minutes).
  8. Remove from oven and let the brisket rest in the foil packet for at least 15 minutes before carefully opening and slicing against the grain. Serve and enjoy!
