Eggs and hasahbrown with cheese over everything.
Or cook up the potatoes unyil crispy, add the onions, and cook down a bit. add the eggs (beaten with a little salt and pepper...oregano if if you wish and a splash of water. Pouor over the potatoes and top with cheese.
Look for recipes like spansh rice and all that. Use the seasonings called for in those recipes.
Also keep in that those dry mixes are Mostly salt.
For cheesy ones I would start with popcorn flavoring (chedder cheese and such.
Don't marinate it. Give it a dry rub.
Brisket is Very fatty so there is a very Small chance of it being dry.
And smoke it don't grill it. Brisket takes all day long to cook and it should be done at a very Low temp.
Yes you can assemble tonight and bake tomorrow.
Either give it time to come to room temp, or give it extra time in the oven since it will be so cold tomorrow when you take it out of the fridge.
I think you are right on.
