Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

Easy; prep 10 min. cost $9-10 a family. The recipe below makes 8 servings. Instructions for freezer club: defrost meat and dipping sauce, it's ready to go! *Be sure to get your rolls and any other toppings you like: Provolone cheese, onion, mushrooms, peppers. etc.

      Ingredients

  • 3-½ pounds Beef Chuck Roast
  • 10-½ ounces, weight Campbell's Beef Consomme Or Broth
  • 12 ounces, fluid Beer (1 Bottle)
  • 2 cubes Beef Bouillon
  • 1-¼ ounce, weight Package Of Onion Soup Mix

    Preparation Instructions

    Season the chuck roast. I used salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
    Place the chuck roast in a crock pot.
    Mix onion soup mix in the beef consomme and pour over the chuck roast.
    Pour a bottle of beer over the meat. I find that the darker and richer the beer is, the better the au jus turns out.
    Place the bouillon cubes on opposite sides of the meat.
    Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.
    Take out the meat, slice or shred (it will be falling apart) and place back into the juice until ready to serve. Serves 8
    I suggest using toasted French bread or po-boy loaves. We love this with provolone cheese melted on the toasted bread, and sometimes with caramelized onions and spicy or creole mustard. However you serve this, you MUST dip in the au jus!
