Ingredients

1 Beef brisket (about 5 lbs)
1 small bottle of liquid smoke
1 can of 7-up or Sprite
Cajun Seasoning (enough to cover both sides of brisket)
1 large onion, chopped (for stove top only)
1 large bell pepper, chopped (for stove top only)
2 TB minced/chopped garlic (for stove top only)
1 gallon sized zip lock bag
1 TB garlic butter (Land O' Lake roasted garlic butter) (for stove top only)

Steps:

Place brisket (thawed) in bag with Cajun seasoning, 7-up/Sprite, and liquid smoke. Zip and shake well. Marinade 48 hours in fridge, turning every few hours to ensure flavorings to seep in. There are two ways I cook this -- one is baking it -- just place the brisket and liquid in a baking dish and slow bake at 325 till meat is fork tender -- the other is stove top or electric pot. Brown just the meat in 1 TB garlic butter, add water as needed. Add veggies and simmer till brisket is fork tender. Slice and enjoy! Note: BBQ Cajun Brisket: Prepare for baking as above, leave out fluid, add veggies. Cover with 1 jar of Kraft's Thick and Spicy Honey BBQ sauce. Follow same baking directions. Delicious!
