Notes

    • A beef brisket with a nice fat layer works best for a tender and juicy end result.
    • No extra salt is needed since dry onion soup mix is quite salty.
    • 1 cup chili sauce can be used in place of chili powder.
    • Substitute yellow mustard for Dijon mustard, if needed.
    • Fresh lemon juice or the bottles found in the refrigerated section work too.
    • Vinegar is a good substitute for lemon juice, if needed.
    • This sauce is also good on chicken, pulled pork or ribs.
