Corned beef brisket ideas?

Looking for corned beef brisket inspiration! My local grocery store has 4-7 pound briskets on sale for just $1.25 per pound, making it one of the most affordable meats available right now. Besides the traditional cabbage and classic Reuben sandwiches, what other creative ideas do you have?

Just a heads up, these briskets come with a prepackaged spice mix, so I’m guessing they’ve already been pre-brined, which makes them a bit less versatile than plain brisket. Any unique suggestions would be much appreciated!
