If you’ve got any brisket in the fridge, turn it into a sandwich for a quick and easy meal! And I’ve got 6 tasty recipes for you to try.
1. BBQ Brisket Sandwich With Coleslaw
I’m a big fan of repurposing brisket because once it’s cooked, everything moving forward is smooth sailing. With a few extra ingredients, you can make a darn-good BBQ sandwich.
For this recipe, you’ll need your beef, pickles (I love Grillo’s), burger buns, BBQ sauce (for that smoky flavor), and coleslaw.
If you don’t have ready-made coleslaw, don’t worry — it’s easy to make from scratch.
Just shred some red cabbage, carrots, and broccoli. Toss them in a bowl, then mix in mayo, apple cider vinegar, salt, and sugar. Give it a good stir, and your coleslaw is ready!
Once everything is prepped, put them all together, and you’ve got yourself a delicious BBQ brisket sandwich!

2. Brisket Grilled Cheese
Are you looking for the ultimate comfort food to indulge in? Well, I’ve got just the thing for you! This recipe brings together two all-time favorites: beef brisket and grilled cheese.
I love making this dish, especially when I’m running out of ideas because it’s always a crowd-pleaser. After all, who can say no to a toasty, melty, brisket grilled cheese?
Of course, you can get by with just those two ingredients, but if you want to get creative, feel free to add other toppings, like honey-cured bacon strips, tomato slices, and a drizzle of mustard.

3. Brisket Sandwich With Onion Rings and Pickles
Onion rings and pickles are often considered side dishes to brisket sandwiches. But, I think they should be a part of the whole ensemble. Don’t you?
Just imagine: when you take a bite, you get a satisfying crunch from the onion rings and pickles, which pairs nicely with the tender, juicy beef.
Then, add some BBQ sauce and provolone cheese to the mix, and you’ve just created the ultimate savory snack!
