Brisket
Leftover brisker chopped up
¼ Cup of Butter
Heath Riles BBQ Garlic Butter Rub
Fire up the grill. I stoked the Traeger Ironwood 885 with Royal Oak Charcoal Hardwood Pellets and fired it up to 400℉.
Fill the Reuben Bites. I sprayed my cast iron skillet with cooking spray and arranged the crescent triangles in a circle. Then, I placed a piece of leftover brisket in the center, topped with a bit of sauerkraut and shredded cheese.
Fold and baste. I folded the crescent roll dough around the filling, pinching to seal. I basted melted butter over the top, followed by a little Heath Riles BBQ Garlic Butter Rub.
Cook. I set the cast iron pan on the Traeger Ironwood 885 and cooked the Cheesy Brisket Reuben Bites for 25-30 minutes. Once the bites were golden brown, I took them off the pit. The only thing left was to dig in!
