Notes

  • *See Post for TONS of side serving ideas
  • To make Beef Brisket Sandwiches in advance, you can either:
  • After your beef brisket is cooked, remove the slow cooker ceramic insert and refrigerate it with the brisket and all the juices for 1-3 days – without shredding or slicing it. Not only does the flavor improve, it becomes even more tender and makes prep the next day a snap.  When ready to serve, simply skim off the hardened fat then cook on low for 1-2 hours until warmed through then shred/slice.
  • OR Make the beef brisket to completion, including shredding it. If you do this, then I would be sure to reserve some barbecue sauce so you can add some sauce to when you reheat the meat. You can reheat your shredded brisket on LOW in the slow cooker, stove or oven.
  • For the cheese, you can assemble you’re the buns with the cheese on them but wait to actually melt the cheese until you are ready to assemble the sandwiches so your cheese doesn't get cold and lost.
