As I was experimenting with flavors one afternoon, I threw together leftover brisket and some nacho ingredients I had in the pantry. The result was this BBQ Brisket Nacho Pie, a dish that beautifully marries bold, smoky brisket with crunchy nachos and melted cheese. I decided to layer everything to create a pie that’s just as satisfying to eat as it is to look at.

One of my favorite tips is to let the brisket marinate in the BBQ sauce for a few hours before cooking. This not only enhances the meat's flavor, but it also ensures it becomes incredibly tender while baking. When you pull it out of the oven, the cheese bubbling on top will have everyone craving a slice!
