Ah, now we’re moving from sweet to savory! 😎 Let’s craft the ultimate loaded brisket sandwich—juicy, smoky, and piled high.
Loaded Brisket Sandwich Recipe
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 1 lb smoked or slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced or shredded
- 4 sandwich buns (brioche or pretzel buns work great)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite style)
- 1 cup cheddar or pepper jack cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup crispy fried onions
- Pickles (optional, for tang)
- Coleslaw (optional, for crunch)
- Butter (for toasting buns)
Instructions
- Reheat the brisket:
- If leftover, warm slices in a skillet over medium heat with a bit of BBQ sauce.
- If raw, slow-cook in oven or crockpot until tender (225°F / 107°C for 6–8 hours works great).
- Prepare the buns:
- Butter the cut sides lightly and toast in a skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the sandwich:
- Bottom bun → brisket → shredded cheese → crispy fried onions → coleslaw → pickles → top bun.
- Optional melt:
- For an extra cheesy finish, pop the assembled open-faced sandwich under the broiler for 1–2 minutes until cheese melts.
✅ Pro tip: Adding a little smoked paprika or chipotle in the BBQ sauce gives it a nice smoky kick without overpowering the brisket.
If you want, I can give you an epic “loaded brisket sandwich with everything” version—like bacon, jalapeños, caramelized onions, and secret sauce—basically next-level indulgence.
