Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb Brisket well-marbled for best results
  • 1 cup Apple Juice with a splash of vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 8 slices Bread thick and sturdy like sourdough or Texas toast
  • 2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese sharp cheddar recommended
  • 4 Waffles store-bought or homemade, toasted
  • Butter for grilling the sandwiches

Instructions
 

  • Place the brisket in a slow cooker. Pour in the apple juice and maple syrup. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours until the meat is tender and shreds easily.
  • Once cooked, shred the brisket using two forks and set aside.
  • Butter one side of each slice of bread. In a skillet over medium heat, place one slice butter-side down. Layer with cheddar, shredded brisket, more cheddar, then top with another bread slice butter-side up.
  • Grill the sandwich on both sides until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  • Toast the waffles and use two of them to sandwich the grilled cheese, turning it into a wafflewich.
  • Serve hot. Optional: drizzle with leftover brisket juices for extra flavor.
