Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar. Remove 1 cup of sauce to a small bowl and add water to it; mix well and pour into pan
Place brisket in pan and pour the remaining sauce over meat. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.

I have made this recipe 8 or 9 times and never have any leftovers. I do it for potlucks and get rave reviews. I even had to get disposable storage containers for my guests to take home leftovers.

Made this for the holidays and it went so fast I barely got a taste. The only complaint was that the brisket I made was only 6 pounds so next time bigger. No leftovers either! Exceptional dish. I would recommend highly!
