Steps:
- Cook onions in hot oil until caramelized. Add jalapeño. Add brisket and BBQ sauce, stirring, until incorporated and warm. Gather onions, jalapeños and brisket into a mound, then place Gouda on top and cover until cheese melts. Toast hoagie roll on hot griddle until crisp. Place all of the filling on hoagie roll.
- For the Smokehouse brisket rub: Combine the mesquite powder, brown sugar, smoked paprika, salt, au jus powder, granulated sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, mustard powder, onion powder and black pepper in a large bowl until thoroughly incorporated.
- For the brisket: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Trim excess fat from the brisket, leaving a good layer for flavor. Spread a thick layer of rub over entire brisket in a heavy-duty baking pan, and work rub into the layer of fat. Add liquid smoke and 1/2 cup water, then cover tightly with aluminum foil. Braise in oven until tender, about 4 hours.
- To a large heavy-duty cooking pot over low heat, add, in order and whisking vigorously until incorporated, the coffee, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, ketchup, liquid smoke, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, chili powder, mustard flour and black pepper. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring every 5 minutes, for 30 minutes.

Steps:
- For the BBQ rub: Mix together smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, pepper, granulated garlic and onion powder in a bowl. Set aside.
- For the brisket: Trim excess fat from the outside of the brisket, keeping about 1/2-inch layer of fat on.
- Chop up excess fat and place it in a pot with 1 cup of the vegetable oil. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat starts to brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let cool, then strain to remove all the fat chunks. Set aside.
- Rub some of the remaining 1/4 vegetable oil all around the outside of the brisket. Rub brisket liberally with 3/4 cup BBQ rub (save remainder for another use). Rub the rest of the vegetable oil on top of the BBQ rub. (When putting rub on meat, just remember, "oil, rub, oil.")
- Let the brisket rest, covered and refrigerated, overnight. (If you are in a hurry, you could let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours and it should turn out okay.)
- Heat an outdoor grill to 350 degrees F. Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F.
- Sear the outside of the meat on all sides on the grill. Since we are not using a smoker, it is important to get some open flame action to caramelize the outside of the meat so we get some smoke flavor. Cover the meat with foil or thick butcher paper and place in a hotel pan.
- Transfer to the oven and roast for 12 hours or overnight. Let cool.
- For the coffee BBQ sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepot, then add garlic and shallots. Cook, stirring, until they start to caramelize. Add the BBQ sauce, coffee and bay leaf and simmer on medium-low heat, stirring frequently, for about 30 minutes. Let cool, remove the bay leaf and puree in a blender (optional). Set aside.
- Ready to make the sandwiches! Slice the brisket about 1/4-inch-thick and place in a large enough saute pan that each piece can be flat in the pan in a single layer. Add just enough BBQ sauce to come about halfway up the side of the meat. Heat the pan on medium to high heat. Meanwhile, split the burger buns. Toast the buns and add the melted butter to the insides.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
- Fry shoestring potatoes until they start to turn golden brown, then add the sliced jalapenos to the fryer and continue frying until the fries are golden and jalapenos are crispy but still bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Let drain, then place in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, pay attention to the brisket in the pan. Turn each piece over on the other side with tongs and continue searing.
- Pour about 1/4 cup beef fat into another saute pan. Heat on medium-high heat and add the sliced onions. Cook the onions down until they start to get a dark caramelization-thing going on, then add salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat, drain excess oil and set aside. At this point the brisket should be looking good. You want there to be a deep-dark crust forming on the outside.
- Time to assemble! Place buns on a tray, lay your Cheddar down on the bottom, add the BBQ brisket on top, beef fat onions on top of the brisket, jalapeno shoestrings on top of the onions, put on your bun lids...DONE!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of brisket. Look for a brisket that is well-marbled and has a good amount of fat. This will help the brisket stay moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
- Trim the brisket before cooking. Remove any excess fat from the brisket, leaving a layer of fat about 1/4-inch thick. This will help the brisket cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too greasy.
- Season the brisket generously. Use a combination of your favorite spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add a rub to the brisket for extra flavor.
- Cook the brisket low and slow. The best way to cook a brisket is to cook it low and slow over indirect heat. This will help the brisket cook evenly and develop a tender, flavorful crust.
- Let the brisket rest before slicing. Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the brisket and make it even more tender.

BBQ brisket and cheddar sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can make a mouthwatering brisket sandwich that will impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Fire up the grill and get started!
