French Dip Sandwiches with Au Jus


1. This was very cost effective
2. This was extremely easy
3. Every single person in my family ate and loved all of this

There really isn't much "gourmet" about this. It's kind of a dump recipe. Somehow it made incredible results with amazing flavor. With how easy and cheap it was (aside from the meat..heh heh..) and the fact that no one could stop eating it, it's going back on the menu often.

Definitely fill your sandwiches more than I filled this one :). 4 kids and 4 dogs running around ya know, I was not being incredibly attentive here haha!


What you will need:


  • 2 cans french onion soup
  • 1 can beef consmme (you can just use beef broth like me)
  • 2-2 1/2 lbs. chuck roast
  • Provolone cheese slices
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:

  • Sear the outsides of your meat (you can cut it into chunks to sear and cook it)
  • Pour cans of soup and consomme (or broth) into crock pot.
  • Add the meat into the crock pot
  • Cook on high for 6 hours
  • Shred the meat and set aside
  • Slice your preferred sandwich bread in half and place on a cookie sheet.
  • Spread softened butter on each of the slice
  • Pre-toast the bread at 400* for about 4 minutes. You don't need it darkened, but when you touch it, it's rough and a bit crispy
  • While your bread is pre-toasting, place a strainer over a bowl and pour the broth into the strainer. It will catch all the extras, allowing just the jus to pass through into the bowl

  • Pull out your pre-toasted bread and add the shredded meat and provolone cheese to the bottom slices
  • Put them back into the oven until the cheese is nice and melted
  • Serve with the au jus !
