- 1 lb brisket, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
Sandwich Assembly
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1/2 cup caramelized onions
- 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, combine the shredded brisket with BBQ sauce and stir 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 to prepare for layering.
- Assemble Brisket Layer: Distribute the BBQ brisket mixture evenly onto the bottom halves of each hoagie roll.
- Add Cheese: Place a slice of provolone cheese atop the brisket on each sandwich to ensure it melts beautifully.
- Top with Onions: Spoon the caramelized onions evenly over the cheese on each sandwich for added sweetness and depth.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the assembled sandwiches to enhance flavor and help crisp the bread while baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, close the sandwiches by placing the top halves over the melted fillings, and serve hot for a delicious meal.

- Caramelize your onions ahead of time to save prep time.
- Feel free to substitute provolone with cheddar or mozzarella based on preference.
