Ingredients

• 1 pound cooked brisket, shredded
• 1 cup BBQ sauce, your choice of flavor
• 4 sesame seed burger buns
• 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños (optional)
• 1/2 cup coleslaw (optional)
• Olive oil, for grilling
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Loaded BBQ Brisket Burger

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded brisket and BBQ sauce over medium heat. Stir occasionally until heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. While the brisket is heating, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the sesame seed buns with olive oil.
3. Once the grill is hot, place the buns cut-side down on the grill. Toast for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same grill pan, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on top of each portion of heated brisket. Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil to help the cheese melt, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a generous portion of the BBQ brisket with melted cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
6. Top with pickled jalapeños and coleslaw if desired, then finish with the top half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy every bite!

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider smoking your brisket if you have the equipment or use a store-bought smoked brisket.
• Let the brisket rest in the BBQ sauce for a few minutes before assembling the burger to enhance the flavor.
• Feel free to mix in your favorite spices into the BBQ sauce for a personalized touch.

Easy Variations

• Swap out cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
• Add crispy bacon for an extra layer of flavor and crunch.
• Use a pretzel bun for a unique twist on the classic burger.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy sweet potato fries or regular French fries.
• A refreshing garden salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
• Grilled corn on the cob slathered in butter and seasoning.
• Baked beans for a classic BBQ side dish.

Leftover brisket can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the brisket in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through. It’s best to assemble the burgers fresh to maintain the bun’s texture.
