Here is a super easy crockpot meal that is great for a super fast weeknight dinner or a weekend get-together with a house full of good friends.
We like to make this when we have company over, we start it in the morning and by the time nap time is done and everyone has gathered at your place you have an easy meal that didn't keep you in the kitchen all day...Hip Hip Hooray! It's also great for football season, since it's carnivore-friendly and the men-folk can load up their sandwiches with piles of meat during the shortest of commercial breaks!!
Make it soon, you'll be soooo glad you did :)
Oh yummy, yum, yummerson!
Kids aren't the only ones who love to dip their food :)
French Dip in the Crockpot
4 pounds of some type of roast meat (rump roast, chuck roast, etc!)
1 can (10.5 oz) beef broth
1 can (10.5 oz) french onion soup
1 bottle or can (12 oz) beer (or equal amount of water or broth)
french rolls or other crusty rolls
sliced cheese (we love Swiss or Provolone with these!)
Place your roast in the crockpot and pour the broth, french onion soup and beer on top. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours. About 30 minutes before eating, take out the meat and shred. Place meat back into the juices and stir to flavor all the meat. Split your rolls and top with sliced cheese. Bake at 200 degrees for about 10 minutes or until rolls are nice and toasty. Top rolls with shredded meat and add a cup of the au jus (yummy meat juices) on the side to dip your sandwich in...SUPER YUM!
Place your roast in the crockpot along with one can of French Onion Soup, Beef Broth and a Bottle of Beer...
Take out your meat about a half hour before eating and shred it up into nice sandwich-sized pieces.
Put the meat back in the juices and let simmer until you are ready to eat...
When you're ready to eat, split your rolls and toast in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes or until your cheese is good and melt-y!
Serve your sandwiches with a cup or bowl of the au jus...
Eat, Dip, Devour!
Now, that's a dinner that you'll want to make often :0
DE-LISH!
Mmmmm! That looks so yummy!! I wonder if we have a roast in the freezer..
ReplyDeleteAnother one of your recipes that I will have to try as soon as I put it in the click here
ReplyDeletedata base to see what the calories per serving would be if I substitute a Miller MGD 54 beer, low sodium campbells onion soup, low fat swiss, wheat bun.

So...im not really sure how I found your blog, but I LOVE reading it everyday. You are so enthusiastic about life and I love that. I made these french dip sandwiches last night and they were amazing!!! WE just ate them again today for lunch. SO good. I didn't add the beer b/c we don't drink but they were still outrageously delicious. My husband thought I was amazing, even though I only took 5 minutes to throw it into the crock pot :) Gotta love meals like this. Anyway, keep up all your awesome posts! You are so cute!

ReplyDeleteFound this recipe through Pinterest and cannot wait to try it out tonight. Sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy picky daughter immediately asked if we could have seconds and then asked for seconds.
ReplyDeleteIs the roast frozen when you put it in the crockpot?
ReplyDeleteJust saw this last night and am trying it today. It smells wonderful so far. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIS it possible to put everything in the crock pot the day before and just stick it in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteIs it ok to serve to kids? Does the alcohol burn off??
ReplyDeleteI've never put everything in the crockpot the night before but I assume if it's refrigerated everything should be okay! And @Dena, yes, the alcohol burns off so you can definitely serve this meal to children!!
ReplyDeleteFound you via Pinterest and I have to say your recipes looks wonderful! Always looking for quick, delicious crockpot ideas for our hectic life. This has made the mealplan for next week! I've done the prep work in advance with my crockpot and never had any problems. Thanks in advance!

ReplyDeleteGoing to try this tonight, looking forward to surprising the family!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delicious! And perfect go to dinner for busy working moms!
ReplyDeletein my crockpot as we speak!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you make the au jus for dipping?
ReplyDeleteIt's the juice Vikki!
Deletewhat type of roast do you recommend?
ReplyDeleteAny type of roast works great in a crock pot!
DeleteI'm not a fan of beer. Is there something that can be substituted that will still give it flavor?
ReplyDeleteI have tried a few different French dip crockpot recipes before, and this is by far the tastiest! The roast just pulls apart and the "au jus" is good as well. I will definitely be making this again. Found this on pinterest will have to check out some more of your recipes!
