This Sunday dinner dish can be as traditional as classic beef and gravy. However, these ingredients are made from leftovers of the German dish Sauerbraten—marinated meat stewed with gravy and vegetables. So if you don't have any Sauerbraten on hand, below is a recipe for a delicious brisket with vegetables in a delicious gravy, which is simmered in the marinade for several hours, becoming incredibly tender, juicy, and soft. Place the leftover brisket and vegetables in a skillet and roast with slices of pumpkin—the pumpkin will add a sweet note to the tart flavor of this dish. Top everything with a mixture of creamed corn, cheese, eggs, and flour, and bake in the oven until crispy. The baked corn will impart its unique flavor and aroma, taking the dish to a whole new level.
