Add the Potatoes and Onion
Place the potatoes and onions on a 20x18-inch sheet of heavy foil.
Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with the Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
Bring up the long sides of the foil and fold to seal.

Serve the remaining meat and potato mixture with the remaining cooking liquid and mustard sauce.
In a baking dish, combine the brisket and cooking liquid.
Bake, covered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until the meat is heated through.
