Oven Brisket with Coffee

This oven brisket recipe is reminiscent of barbecue brisket, without the grill. The coffee is a simple addition that adds depth and richness. After trying this recipe, I started adding coffee to many of my roasts. We use our own ketchup and chili sauce, but you can use a quality store-bought brand. This recipe is very quick, and while I usually make it in a Dutch oven pan in my oven, you could also use a slow cooker and let it cook all day. Briskets are extremely forgiving of long cooking times, and indeed are often improved by them, as long as the liquid does not dry out and as long as they are cooked at low temperatures. This recipe goes well with buttered egg noodles, cole slaw and beans (like a barbecue joint), or a crusty bread with a salad.
