Cousin David's Slow-Cooked Brisket with Homemade Gravy

Place the beef brisket in a slow cooker. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chili sauce, onion soup mix, and garlic powder; pour this mixture over the brisket.

Cover the slow cooker and set it to Low for 8 to 10 hours. Once cooked, slice the brisket against the grain and serve with a generous drizzle of the homemade gravy.

To make the gravy, skim off some of the cooking juices from the slow cooker into a small saucepan. Bring the juices to a gentle boil and let them reduce slightly until thickened.
