Ingredients:

For the Sandwich:
• 4 slices thick sourdough or Texas toast
• 1/2 lb sliced smoked brisket (homemade or from your favorite BBQ spot)
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 4 slices provolone or smoked gouda cheese
• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (sweet or smoky style)
• 2 tbsp butter (for grilling bread)
• Olive oil (for caramelizing onions)

Instructions:

  1. Caramelize the Onions:
    • Heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
    • Add sliced onions and cook slowly for about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft.
    • Add a small splash of water or balsamic vinegar to deglaze if needed. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches:
    • Butter one side of each slice of bread.
    • On the unbuttered side, layer: cheese slice, brisket, caramelized onions, BBQ sauce, and another slice of cheese.
    • Top with the second piece of bread, buttered side facing out.
  3. Grill:
    • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
    • Grill sandwiches until golden brown on both sides and cheese is melted — about 3–4 minutes per side. Press down slightly with a spatula for that crispy crust.
  4. Stack & Serve:
    • Slice in half and stack them up for that epic look.
    • Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
