1 (4 1/2 to 5-pound) beef brisket
5 large cloves garlic, sliced
1 (12-ounce) can beer
1 (8-ounce) Kraft BULL'S-EYE Original Barbecue Sauce

3. Remove meat from pan. Drain liquid, reserving 1/2 cup. Return meat and reserved liquid to pan.
4. Combine remaining beer, barbeque sauce and green chilies. Pour over meat. Continue baking, uncovered, for 1 hour or until meat is tender.
