Slow Roasted BBQ Brisket

Green Chili Rice

Caesar Salad

BBQ Brisket

Purchase a whole brisket with the fat on top. Pat rub on to brisket 4-6 hours before roasting. Overnight is good too. 

Texas Dry Rub

1 T. Salt

6 T. Brown Sugar

2T. Black Pepper

1 T. Lemon Pepper

1 T. Paprika

1 T. Garlic Salt

1 T. Onion powder 

Mix above ingredients in a Ziploc bag, mix well; should be free of lumps. Pat  allover on brisket.

Refrigerate  at least 4-6 hours.  Cook at 325, fat side up  till meat easily shreds.  (For a whole brisket this is usually about 4 hours.)  Drain liquid and let rest till cool enough to handle. trim fat, shred.  I then  like to put it in the fridge overnight with Sweet  Baby Rays BBQ sauce and warm up the next day in a crock pot or 325 oven.  Smells and taste so good.  Great for company because it's made the day before.
