Kraft Barbecue Sauce celebrated the launch of their newly revamped line of sauces with no high fructose corn syrup and high-quality ingredients like tomatoes, sweet molasses, cider vinegar and cane sugar. I decided to put the sauce to the test at a tailgate this past Friday. My husband had tickets to a concert so I put my plancha grill in the back of the car to do some tailgating with Scott and his friends before the concert in the parking lot to show off my grilling skills.
I love any excuse to grill for people! We had just smoked a brisket the day before so I thought it would be a great way to repurpose the leftovers into a tasty grilled cheese covered in rich barbecue sauce and caramelized onions. What makes a grilled cheese even better? Perfectly smoked brisket, layered in melted cheese, onions and barbecue sauce! Needless to say, the sandwiches were a hit at the tailgate!
Here I am making Barbecue Brisket Grilled cheeses at the tailgate.
If you aren’t lucky enough to have succulent smoked brisket to make a barbecue sauce covered grilled cheese, pulled pork or roast beef would work okay too. If you would like to try smoking brisket, try out my brisket recipe here (this is the #1 recipe on my site!)

Great post Robyn! My most extreme weather grilling experience was this past summer It was a big family gathering at my house and it was a torrential downpour. I had no extreme grilling gear, except for a golf umbrella, and that was used to protect the grill and the food I was preparing. I think I’ll have to follow your lead with the professional gear if I’m going to be serious about this #evergriller thing.

Great recipe idea for leftovers. I think I might try this next time I have left over ribs. Sometimes I let them go to waste as they are never quite the same the next day. Nice blog, I enjoy the inspiration to try some new things.
