Description
A hearty and indulgent grilled cheese sandwich stacked with BBQ brisket, crispy turkey bacon, and melted cheddar on thick-cut bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices thick-cut bread
- 1 lb cooked brisket, shredded
- 8 slices turkey bacon, cooked until crispy
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
Instructions
- Lay out all 8 slices of bread on a clean, flat surface.
- Spread softened butter on one side of each slice.
- Flip over 4 slices so the buttered side faces down.
- Layer shredded brisket, turkey bacon, and cheddar cheese on the unbuttered sides of those 4 slices.
- Drizzle BBQ sauce over the fillings.
- Top with remaining 4 slices of bread, buttered side up, forming sandwiches.
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Carefully place sandwiches onto the skillet.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, let rest 2 minutes, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
- Use sourdough or Texas toast for best structure and flavor.
- Pre-shredded cheese may not melt as smoothly as freshly grated cheese.
- For a spicier version, use chipotle BBQ sauce or add sliced jalapeños.
