Very Best Brisket

4 onions, sliced

1 pound small new potatoes

1 (16 ounce) package baby carrots

7 pounds beef brisket

1 cup beef broth

1 packet dry onion soup mix

1 cup ketchup

10 fluid ounces ginger ale

Layer the onions, potatoes, and carrots into the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Place the brisket on top of the vegetables.

Mix the beef broth, onion soup mix, ketchup, and ginger ale in a bowl, and pour it over the brisket and vegetables. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer.

Simmer the brisket until tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
