    Supper Club: Lazy Texas Brisket

    Dino drew Texas for his state, and he was going to smoke ribs, but the recipes are pretty intense and take a long time to cook, and we were just too busy. So he mentioned brisket, and I found this great, indoor brisket recipe. The reviews were great, but we made a few changes based on what we read - we lowered the temperature to 300°F, and let it cook for 3 ½-4 hours. Dino also made his own BBQ sauce, as the one in the recipe got some not-so-good reviews on the website. The other key thing that we did was to make the rub and put it on the brisket the night before, and let it cure overnight. The next morning, we wrapped it in foil and baked it. It rocked!

    And here's a shot of the whole meal (minus dessert):
