Instructions
Prepare the Brisket
Mix the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub this mixture onto the brisket.
Pro tip: Let the brisket marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Smoke the Brisket
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C) and add the wood smoke. Place the brisket on the grill.
Pro tip: Smoke the brisket for about 1 hour per pound, until it reaches an internal temperature of 195°F (90°C).
Prepare the Mac and Cheese
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the flour to create a roux. Cook for 2 minutes.
Pro tip: Make sure to mix well to avoid lumps.
Add the Milk
Slowly incorporate the milk while stirring constantly until thickened.
Pro tip: For an even richer flavor, use whole milk.
Incorporate the Cheese
Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until completely melted. Fold in the cooked pasta.
Pro tip: Do not overcook the cheese to keep it creamy.
Assemble the Sandwich
Slice the cooked brisket and place it on the sandwich bread. Add a generous portion of mac and cheese on top.
Pro tip: For an elegant presentation, use toasted bread.
Add Toppings
Add your choice of toppings, such as pickles and red onions.
Pro tip: Toppings add a nice texture and freshness to the sandwich.
Serve
Cut the sandwich in half and serve with fries or a salad.
Pro tip: Pair with a good beer for a perfect meal!
