• SIMPLE SUPER BOWL RECIPES Using Pace Salsa
  By Angela Shelf Medearis a.k.a. “The Kitchen Diva!”

  Many stores carry pre-cooked beef briskets that you can cover with Pace Salsa, re-heat and serve in the ways I’ve suggested below. If you can’t find a pre-cooked brisket, this is an easy recipe to bake your own. The brisket is cooked in a covered pan without water for 4 hours. Remove it from the oven, let it rest for 15 minutes to re-distribute the juices, then slice it and return it to the pan. Cover the brisket slices with the Pace Salsa and bake it for another hour. The Salsa Brisket can be used in the following recipes and it is perfect for a Super Bowl party!

  OVEN-BAKED SALSA BRISKET

  4 pounds beef brisket
  1 ½ tablespoon salt, to taste
  1 ½ tablespoons freshly ground
  black pepper, to taste
  1 tablespoon brown sugar
  2 tablespoons garlic powder, to taste
  1 cup Pace Salsa or barbeque sauce
  1 cup water

  Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Sprinkle both sides of the brisket with the salt, pepper, brown sugar, and garlic powder, Rub the seasonings into both sides. Place the brisket into a large, foil-lined, roasting pan. Set the brisket aside and let the meat marinade unrefrigerated for 30 minutes before cooking. Place the meat into a roasting pan that has a tight-fitting cover. Cover the roasting pan and cook the brisket covered with no water added at 325 degrees allowing 1 hour per pound.

  Before the last hour of cooking, remove the brisket from the pan and let it rest for 15 minutes. Pour the Pace Salsa and the water into the pan and mix them with the pan juices. Slice the brisket and return it to the pan. Coat the slices with the Salsa mixture until the meat is covered with the sauce. Cover the pan and cook 1 hour longer, or until the meat is tender. Serves 9.
