Open Faced BBQ Beef Brisket and Cheese Melts
NeedTaste |Yum, yum, yum A crafty - and delicious - way to use up leftovers.. I was trying to figure out what to do with my leftover crockpot beef brisket eye round last night. I had about 1-1 1 2 lbs left of nice tender pulled beef sitting in the wonderful au jus. I looked to see what I had in my pantry and did this. Wow, it really hit the spot.
