I recently did a slow cooked beef brisket. The meat was so tender, I thought it would be great on a burger.

I bought the brioche buns from Coles in a pack of four. I regard two burgers as one serving.
Frequently asked questions
Is the beef brisket better in the slow cooker or slowly roasting it?
I reckon barbequed in a wood smoked oven would be best, but the slow cooker does a good job without any mess.
Do you really need brioche buns?
No not at all, soft round buns or hamburger buns would be fine, but brioche buns add a touch of fancy to the meal. Brioche is sweet and it is light. If you can get them, I’d go with brioche. They make for a great gourmet burger.
How many can you eat?
I had two and felt satisfied. I could have eaten four but that would have been overboard.
What did you do with the rest of the brisket?
I cut it in half and vacuum packed the two pieces and put them in the freezer for two more meals later in the week.

Thanks Gary. Love this. Coincidentally I also cooked beef brisket this week, but was a bit disappointed with my attempt. Your recipe looks fabulous and I will have to try it next time.
Please let me know how it goes. It’s hard to go wrong when it’s in the slow cooker for eight hours 😃
Egads! I keep trying to hit the like button and it refreshes the page instead! Freaking WordPress! Well, I like these. My mouth is watering! Haha, have to remember never to come here when I feel hungry. :))
These sort of little, well maybe not little burgers were really nice for dinner. Tonight I’m making a chicken curry.
8 hour cooked beef! It must be so tender and soft that it is literally melt in the mouth. I don’t know about you, but I always find it so easy to overcook meat. Soft meat is not my strength 🙁
Good choice with the cheese. Bright and yellow. I always love seeing cheese go along with your meals because I love cheese too 😀 I might have missed a post or just forgot, but have you cooked a meal where cheese is the main ingredient and it makes up most of the dish? Mac ‘n cheese and pizza don’t count 😀
Thanks, Mabel, the meat was really tender, it had a nice thin layer of fat 😋 too which was good on the sandwich.
I’ve never done a cheese post. I’ve often wondered about doing a cheese fondue, but living alone means a whole heap of cheese. Not that there’s a problem with that 😃
Today, I’m making a chicken curry in my slow cooker.
Haha. I like my meat tender and juicy without the fat 😀 Cheese post, cheese post, cheese post. You can make a mini cheese fondue 😀
You know me, Mabel. All the fun is in the fat. I will think about a fair dinkum dedicated cheese post!
#8 said you had soup, too?????? This does look completely delicious and I think it would be fun to eat with or without soup. I’d probably go for something really bad for you like American fries. Cuz I wanted a burger and fries tonight for dinner!!!
Good pick up. I copied some text from a previous recipe. Thanks for the proof reading Kris 😃
Hot chips would be great with this, or potato gems (tater tots) would be my choice.
