A great alternative to hamburgers, hot dogs, or pork barbeque. Please note that the recipe calls for two whole chipotle chiles; not two cans of chipotle chiles. We actually removed the meat from our slow cooker to pull and chop it and served the sauce on the side (strained of all the onion, bay leaves and garlic). This way each person can decide how much sauce to use.

Remove and discard bay leaves.
Pile the meat on sandwich buns and serve with jalapenos.

Tips:

Choose a good quality brisket. Look for one that is well-marbled and has a nice fat cap.
Use a dry rub to flavor the brisket. This will help to create a delicious crust on the outside of the meat.
Cook the brisket low and slow. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall apart easily.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different cooking methods. You can cook the brisket in a smoker, a Dutch oven, or even a slow cooker.
Once the brisket is cooked, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meat.

Conclusion:

Pulled brisket sandwiches are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or even just a weeknight dinner. With a little planning and effort, you can make pulled brisket sandwiches that will impress your friends and family.
