BBQ Beef Brisket

This is the perfect recipe to make for Sunday football. It's simple, tasty, BBQ beef brisket and the best part is that alllll the ingredients are from Costco. Living in Seattle, its a bit difficult to find great BBQ. My brother will occasionally show up at my front door with several pounds of rib tips from The Barbeque Pit. If you haven't been there and you love saucy sweet barbeque, this is the place to be. Otherwise, you can make something super similar at home!

Ingredients
4-5 pounds of beef brisket
Dry seasoned rub. My Costco sells the dry rib rub they use in their meat department. They also have sweet mesquite seasoning but any type would work
Kinders BBQ Sauce or your favorite BBQ sauce. Costco also sells Sweet Baby Rays

Recipe
Rub the brisket with the dry seasoned rub and get it into all the nooks and crannies
Cover with tin foil and put into the fridge overnight. This allows seasoning to fully settle into the meat
Take the brisket out the next day and let it come to room temperature
Completely wrap the brisket in tin foil and place brisket on a sheet pan
Cook at 275 for 1 hour per pound. My brisket was 4.5 pounds so I set my timer for 4 hours and 30 minutes
Once that's done, pull the brisket out of the oven and set the temperature to 400 degrees

Take the brisket out of the tin foil and place it onto the sheet pan
This is optional, but if you have a brisket point, you can scrape off the fat. I did this because I like to pretend like I'm on a diet. 
Slather BBQ sauce all over the brisket and put it back inside the 400 degrees oven

Continue to baste BBQ sauce over the brisket at 5 minute increments for 15-20 minutes until you get a deep sugary crust from the BBQ sauce

Slice against the grain and eat up!
