Corned beef brisket ideas?

Looking for corned beef brisket inspiration? I’ve spotted some 4-7 pound briskets at my local grocery store for just $1.25 per pound—a fantastic deal these days! While I love the classic pairings with cabbage and Reuben sandwiches, I’m curious to hear any other creative ideas.

Just a heads up, these briskets come with a prepackaged spice mix, so they might not be as flexible as plain brisket when it comes to recipes. What are your suggestions?
