Instructions:

1. Prepare the Brisket
   Mix brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the brisket. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best flavor).
2. Cook the Brisket

   Let brisket rest for 15 minutes, then slice against the grain. Brush slices with extra BBQ sauce. Plate with a portion of baked beans, a few pickle slices, and a slice of white bread.
