Notes

  • Nutrition facts do not include any toppings, chips, breads or tortillas.
  • Cooked brisket will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator. You can also freeze cooked brisket for up to three months.
  • Feel free to swap chuck roast for brisket as a more economical piece of meat.
  • No Claude’s Brisket Marinade Sauce? Substitute with beef broth plus a splash of liquid smoke.
