Southern Brisket Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese sandwiches and barbecue are two of my all-time favorite foods. The recipe that follows combines the two into an intoxicatingly delicious meal. If you’ve got leftover brisket, trust me, there’s no better way to use it up than in this crunchy, cheesy, meaty, melt-in-your mouth sandwich.

You can use any barbecue sauce you like to season the meat. I like one that’s sweet and spicy, and maybe has a kick of bourbon in it. If you prefer a tangier or milder sauce, those work too. The key is using delicious leftover brisket, good quality cheese and fluffy white bread. If you’ve got a cast iron skillet or griddle, there couldn’t be a better time to pull it out.
