Notes
Brisket:
Be sure to get a regular beef brisket, not a corned beef brisket for this recipe.
Ketchup:
I just use regular ketchup in this recipe.
Vinegar:
White vinegar gives the tang to the sauce. If you don't have white vinegar, cider vinegar will be the best substitute.
Brown sugar:
I don't tightly pack the brown sugar for this dish.
