1
Cook the Brisket
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub the beef brisket with salt and pepper. Place it in a roasting pan and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 3-4 hours or until tender.
2
Add BBQ Sauce
Once the brisket is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes. Shred the brisket using two forks and mix it with the house BBQ sauce.

3
Slice the Onions
Peel and slice the onions into thin rings.
4
Caramelize the Onions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from heat.

5
Prepare the Bread
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
6
Layer the Ingredients
On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer a generous portion of the BBQ brisket, followed by the caramelized onions, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Top with the other slices of bread, buttered side up.

7
Toast the Sandwich
In a skillet over medium heat, grill the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 4-5 minutes per side.

8
Slice and Serve
Once the melts are done, remove them from the skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
