What goes well with smoked brisket?

[Luna]

Hey everyone, I got some smoked brisket coming off the grill and I'm puzzling over the sides. I usually lean towards coleslaw or beans, but I'm itching to mix things up. Has anyone tried any sides that complement the smoky flavor of brisket really well? I am open to suggestions and would love to hear about any pairing ideas.

I find cornbread a perfect match with its slightly sweet taste. Also baked beans complement the smoky flavor well but some find them too heavy.

Smoked brisket with creamy mac and cheese is a match made in BBQ heaven!
Classic sides like cornbread or hush puppies are always a hit, though grilled veggies add a nice fresh twist.
And don't forget a tangy vinegar-based slaw to cut through the richness of the brisket! Adds that perfect balance.

Mac and cheese, bro... creamy, cheesy goodness with a hint of smokiness, perfect with brisket.

I like serving it with cornbread, though it's important to balance flavors and textures

Oh, smoked brisket! It's a flavor bomb! For sides, I'm thinking creamy mac and cheese , tangy coleslaw , and maybe some buttery cornbread . Oh, and don't forget the BBQ sauce! Can't wait to dig in! Thanks for the mouthwatering suggestion!

In my experience, classic barbecue sides like coleslaw, baked beans, and cornbread make fantastic companions to smoked brisket. They add a mix of textures and flavors that perfectly complement the smoky richness of the meat.

Try some cheesy jalapeño cornbread or roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze—both pack a punch and pair perfectly with smoky brisket!
