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.
