Beef Brisket Nachos

My husband and I had some beef brisket nachos at a restaurant a few weeks ago. They were amazing! This is my version,  I thought I would share it with you. Fixing a brisket is easier then you would think it just needs to cook for about 4 hours to make it very tender. Give this recipe a try, you won't be disappointed. 

NACHOS WITH BEEF BRISKET

3 lb beef brisket

1small onion, diced 

3 cloves garlic, cut in half 

Salt & black pepper, 1t. each

1/2 c brown sugar

2-12 ounce bottle chili sauce, 

    Reserving 1/2 cup

15 ounces stout beer

Tortilla chips 

Your favorite nacho toppings

Place the brisket in a Dutch oven or a deep roasting pan. Salt and pepper the brisket. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the brisket. Add the onion and  garlic to the Dutch oven, then pour the chili sauce over the brisket. Pour the beer around the brisket instead of over the brisket so the seasoning stays on top of the meat. Place the lid on your Dutch oven or aluminum foil over the roasting pan. Bake at 325° for 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Remove the brisket from the oven, transfer to a serving platter. Discard the liquid that is in the Dutch oven, it will be too greasy to use. Take two forks to pull the brisket apart into shreds then take a fork and knife and cut the brisket into  bite-size pieces. I then add an extra 1/2 cup of chili sauce to the cooked meat to add some extra flavor. Place tortilla chips onto a plate, add the chopped brisket,  then drizzle Mexican cheese dip or grated cheese and your favorite nacho toppings. You could also use soft tortilla shells or taco shells instead of making them in to nachos. Another way you could cook the brisket would be in a crockpot (on low). Increase the cook time to 6-7 hours.
