Instructions
Prepare the Beef Patties
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Angus ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Gently form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, about ¾ inch thick. Avoid overworking the meat to keep it tender.
Cook the Patties
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- Add a slice of cheddar cheese to each patty during the final minute of cooking. Cover the skillet to let the cheese melt.
Prepare the Brisket Layer
- In a separate pan, heat the shredded brisket with the BBQ sauce over medium heat. Stir for 2-3 minutes until the brisket is heated through and glazed with the sauce.
Make the Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, and smoked paprika. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Toast the Buns
- Lightly toast the burger buns in a skillet or under a broiler until golden and slightly crispy.
Assemble the Burger
- Spread the sauce on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Place one Angus beef patty on the bun. Top it with a layer of BBQ-glazed brisket. Add the second Angus beef patty.
- Add fresh arugula, tomato slices, and red onion rings.
- Finish with the top bun, pressing gently to keep everything intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I substitute the Angus beef with regular ground beef?
Yes, you can use regular ground beef, but for the juiciest results, aim for an 80/20 lean-to-fat ratio to retain flavor and moisture.
2. Can I prepare the patties ahead of time?
Absolutely! Form the patties, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking.
3. What’s the best way to cook the brisket for this recipe?
You can slow-cook the brisket in a crockpot with BBQ sauce for 6-8 hours or buy pre-cooked brisket for convenience.
4. Can I use a different cheese instead of cheddar?
Yes! Smoked gouda, Swiss cheese, or pepper jack would all complement the flavors of this burger beautifully.
5. How do I prevent the burger from falling apart?
Avoid overworking the meat when shaping patties, and make a small indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
