Looking for a delicious BBQ dinner idea? Tender, luscious and flavorful, BBQ Brisket Burnt Ends give a whole new meaning to the term "leftovers."

Burnt ends are made from smoked beef brisket, specifically the 'point' half. There are two cuts in a brisket: the point and the flat. The point is a tender, rounder piece of meat that has a fat cap while the flat is a leaner cut that is uniform in shape. Because of the higher fat content in the brisket point, the brisket ends take longer to tenderize and render out the fat. This makes this burnt ends beef brisket recipe extra juicy.

These tasty caramelized point chunks originated in Kansas City, where pitmasters would smoke the odds and ends of unused brisket point in BBQ sauce and serve with bread. In our version, we're using a Texas Rodeo-rubbed smoked brisket point for a tasty Texas style brisket. Since these little morsels hail from Kansas City, we're adding our KC-style Blue Ribbon BBQ sauce for that authentic BBQ brisket flavor.
