We certainly can’t get through this season without the ease and quick cooking of our grill. It’s a staple in any backyard. But when we want to satisfy our slow smoked barbecue craving, our 55 gallon drum smoker that Bill built is there for us too.Smoked Brisket Burger with Pickled Onions and Blue Cheese Butter #PepperidgeFarm #RespecttheBun #smokedbrisketThe quintessential way to to use this smoker and kick off the summer is with the tastiest and most succulent piece of smoked meat.

There is something to satisfy every taste preference.Smoked Brisket Burger with Pickled Onions and Blue Cheese Butter #PepperidgeFarm #RespecttheBun #smokedbrisketFor our brisket sandwich, soft whole wheat buns do the trick.

Smoked Brisket Burger with Pickled Onions and Blue Cheese Butter

This slow smoked beef brisket sandwich is packed between soft Pepperidge Farm® Hamburger Buns and loaded with savory toppings for the ultimate summer dinner.

  • Pepperidge Farm® Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
  • 6-7 pound beef brisket
  • your favorite spice rub
  • quick pickled red wine onions (recipe on the blog, drained)
  • fresh arugula
  • FOR THE BUTTER:
  • 1/4 unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1 tbsp parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  1. In a small bowl combine butter, blue cheese, parsley, and garlic. Set aside in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  2. Preheat the smoker to 225°-250°F.
  3. Place the brisket on the grate with the fat side up. Cover and let sit in the smoke for 4 hours.
  4. At this point the brisket has had enough smoke so generously wrap it in aluminum foil.
  5. Place back on the grate, insert a probe and wait for the internal temperature to reach 185.
  6. Remove from the smoker and let rest for 30 minutes.
  7. Open the foil, transfer to a cutting board and slice the brisket against the grain.
  8. Toast the bun and generously butter the inside portion of both sides of the sandwich buns with the blue cheese butter.
  9. Top bottom bun with a handful of arugula, 3-5 slices of brisket, and a heaping spoonful of pickled onions.
  10. Top with bun and enjoy.

Don’t have a smoker? Try using a slow-cooker or your oven at a low temperature.

Cooking times vary. Brisket should reach an internal temperature of 185 degrees F on an instant- read meat thermometer, about 6-8 hours.

    I’m not very big on brisket, but this recipe looks very enticing. I am feeling drawn to try this recipe, especially because of the pickled onions and bleu cheese butter.
