Chopped Beef Brisket Using Leftovers

by Frank Campanella Leave a Comment

Put that leftover brisket to use and refresh it by making Chopped Beef brisket and serving it on sandwiches, tacos, and more!

Brisket doesn't always have to be enjoyed hot and fresh off the smoker. In fact, many folks say that this chopped brisket is even better the next day!!

If you have ever been to Buccee's, and I hope you have, you will see that they serve both chopped and sliced brisket sandwiches. They take the end pieces and a lot of the meat from the point, chop it up, and add some BBQ sauce. It makes for some of the most tender BBQs you will ever try. This inspired me to make my own at home with leftover brisket using my Best Pellet Grill Brisket recipe.

Chopped Beef Brisket Ingredients

Beef: We will use 2 lbs of already smoked brisket to make this beef recipe.

Wet Ingredients: To renew these leftovers, you need ¼ cup of beef broth and ¼ cup of your favorite BBQ sauce.

Seasoning: Load on some added flavor with 2 tsp of your favorite BBQ dry rub seasoning.

Optional: I recommend adding ¼ cup of diced onions to this recipe if onions are your flavor. I say they are optional, but I think the onions are the perfect addition! However, if onions are your favorite, skip them!

If you followed my recipe for making pellet grill brisket, I could also guarantee you have leftover brisket, seeing as that recipe calls for 15 lbs of juicy meat.

How to Serve Chopped Beef Brisket

With this recipe, we will turn those leftovers into something irresistible, like chopped beef tacos, a chopped brisket sandwich, or even a chopped brisket baked potato.

It is hands down one of the best meals and one of my absolute favorites to make before enjoying football games on Sunday. It reheats like a dream, and you have already done all the hard work the day before when you smoked the brisket.

How to make Chopped Brisket

Chop the meat. Cube up the brisket into large chunks and place into a foil pan or cast iron skillet along with diced onions.

Add the rest of the ingredients. Pour the beef broth, BBQ sauce, and dry rub, then cover with foil.

Cook. Bake at 350 for 1 hour in a 9x13 foil pan until the beef is tender.

Shred in a food processor. Pour beef along with the juices into a food processor and pulse just a few times until the meat is shredded. If you prefer larger chunks, you can hand chop up the beef to your liking. Do this in batches, so you don't overcrowd the food processor.

Serve and Enjoy! Serve on top of sandwiches, tortillas, baked potatoes, or whatever you like.

Chopped Beef Recipe Tips

The easiest way to chop brisket is using a food processor. You can always do it by hand with a sharp knife, but I find the food processor gives me the most even consistency.

Meat. Don't have leftover brisket? You can also make this recipe with a leftover smoked chuck roast.

Cut the carbs. Want to enjoy the chopped BBQ beef brisket and nothing else? That works, too! Serve your chopped beef with a side of dill pickles or a fresh green salad.

Added Flavor. Looking to season and flavor with something different? Consider using or adding Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, onion powder, red pepper, and garlic powder.
