Leftovers are possible, though we never have this problem with these delicious sliders. Here are some storage tips.

• Refrigerator: Since the buns will continue to soak up the brisket juices we suggest keeping them only for a day in the fridge. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil, then place in an airtight container. Alternatively, you could remove the brisket from the buns and place in an airtight container for a few days. This amount of time will vary depending on how long you have had the initial leftovers from; if you just cooked a fresh brisket, you could keep it up to 5 days.
• Freezer: Wrap each slider in foil, then store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven to help crisp up the buns.
• Reheating: Warm in the oven, covered with foil, until heated through.

• Dinner Ideas: Baked macaroni and cheese, sautéed green beans with shallots, potato salad, old fashioned turkey dressing, cornbread, creamy coleslaw, roasted carrots, roasted cauliflower, maple Brussels sprouts, garlic bread.
• Drinks: Watermelon sangria, watermelon Moscow mule, spiked apple cider, apple cider mimosa, blackberry champagne cocktail, breakfast shot, eggnog espresso martini, Vegas bomb shot.
• Desserts: Banana chocolate chip cookies, Crockpot cinnamon roll casserole, ginger molasses cookies, chocolate cake mix cookies, carrot sheet cake, vanilla cake mix cookies.

Here are some of our best tips to help you make the best sandwiches using leftover brisket.

• Use Parchment Paper: Make cleanup easy by using parchment paper or foil on your baking sheet when baking a large batch.
• Keep Buns Intact: Assemble as a sheet, then slice after baking for neat presentation.
• Don’t Overbake: Too much heat can dry out the brisket— the best way is just enough to melt cheese and warm through.
• Prep Sauces in Advance: Mix any dressings or drizzles in a small bowl or large bowl before assembling to save time.

Yes, the buns will absorb the brisket juices, so we suggest assembling and wrapping in plastic wrap the day you plan to serve them for the best texture. Bake when ready to serve.
