Our daughter came over last week and made us braised brisket. It was DELICIOUS!
Everyone should try this recipe.

That's a lot of onions. Better not have a date the night you make this one.

By the time they are done cooking (3 hours) and creating the braising liquid (by giving up their own juices), they are soft, sweet and delicious.
The 4 pounds of onions, cook down to about 4 cups.
No fear about a date afterwards.

BTW - the onion amounts are based on a 6 lb brisket. If you do a smaller one you can still use the same amount of onions or cut it down if you wish

I'm gonna be a fat man in the poor house soon if I keep cooking all this stuff.

4 cups is a lot of onion.

But I love onions. I bet you could almost make a side of french onion soup if you added some broth or stock to the onions. I

French onion soup.

4 lbs of onions is not a lot of onions for this braise.
This recipe serves 6 to 10 people.
If you divide 4 cups of cooked onions (that have almost disintegrated after cooking for 3 hours) among 10 people, you will not have a lot of onions.
But you will have a lot of brisket.
