Ingredients
Scale
Brisket Mixture
- 1 lb brisket, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup caramelized onions
Assembly
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sandwiches.
- Mix Brisket and Sauce: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the shredded brisket with the BBQ sauce until the meat is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Prepare Rolls: Slice the hoagie rolls in half lengthwise and arrange them cut side up on a baking sheet.
- Layer Brisket: Evenly distribute the BBQ-coated brisket mixture on the bottom halves of each roll, ensuring an ample amount for every sandwich.
- Add Cheese: Place one slice of provolone cheese directly on top of the brisket layer of each sandwich, allowing it to melt over the meat.
- Add Caramelized Onions: Spoon the caramelized onions over the provolone cheese on each sandwich to add sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle the olive oil over the open-faced sandwiches to enhance browning and add a rich finish.
- Bake Sandwiches: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the sandwiches for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, close each sandwich with the top half of the hoagie roll, and serve hot for a delicious, melty BBQ brisket experience.
Notes
- For best results, use freshly caramelized onions made by slowly cooking sliced onions until golden brown and sweet.
- Leftover cooked brisket works wonderfully for this recipe, making it a great way to repurpose meat.
- You can substitute provolone with mozzarella or cheddar cheese according to preference.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the brisket mixture.
- Serve with pickles or a side of coleslaw for added texture and flavor contrast.
