Cheesy Jalapeno Slow Cooker Brisket Fries

Yes, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and the brisket is being cooked by the boatload!

But, after the parties ends and the guest leave, what are you going to do with all that leftover brisket?

I say, bring on the cheese, potatoes, and jalapenos!

My Cheesy Jalapeno Slow Cooker Brisket Fries are perfect for the day after the festivities.

I made my brisket in the slow cooker, but note, regardless of how you cooked your brisket, it will work for this dish!

I diced my brisket up into 1 inch chunks, lightly fried it in a little olive oil and that’s pretty much it!

Now cook up some fries, and top those babies with lots of brisket and all the toppings you can think of!

I used lots of jalapenos, cheese, and green onions. Then I placed it under the broiler to melt the cheese.

All done and ready to eat!
