Atlanta Brisket

3 lbs beef brisket
Coca Cola to cover
2 onions, sliced thinly
1 pack onion soup mix
2 bay leaves
Oil

Soak the brisket in the Coke overnight. Brown the beef in a Dutch oven, preferably cast iron over high heat, with just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat and add sliced onions and soup mix, bay leaves and an inch or so of water. Cook, covered on low heat checking every 20 minutes and adding water if needed. It should cook about 2 hours. Slice and serve with mixture as gravy.
