FAQs

Can I use other types of meat instead of brisket?
Yes! You can use pulled pork, turkey, or even shredded chicken.

What can I serve with these sandwiches?
Fries, onion rings, or a fresh green salad are great choices to serve alongside.

Can I freeze the sandwiches?
It’s best to freeze the brisket mixture separately and assemble the sandwiches fresh. If you freeze them already made, the bread may become soggy upon reheating.
