Ingredients:  
Pam® vegetable spray
2 large brown onions, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
4 T. vegetable oil
1 (5 lb.) beef brisket
salt and pepper
garlic powder
˝ cup ketchup
1 (14 oz.) can whole cranberry sauce

Directions:
Directions:
Heat oven to 350⁰. Spray frying pan and Dutch Oven with lots of Pam Spray. Place onions and carrots in frying pan on stove top. Brown in oil until translucent. Remove from pan. Season brisket with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Spray Pam in the pan again. Working over medium-high heat, quickly brown brisket on both sides to sear in juices. Remove brisket from pan. Take all the remaining ingredients and place in the same pan just used for browning the prior items. Bring to slow boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Place brisket in Dutch Oven. Pour onions, carrots and all other ingredients around and on top of the brisket. Cover tightly. Place in oven and bake for 3 to 6 hours, until tender. Remove cover and bake for additional 15 minutes to caramelize. Allow to cool slightly. Cut into thin slices across the grain of the meat to avoid shredding. Serve with mashed potatoes.
