Fortunately, my husband has a great sense of humor and really found the whole situation hysterical. However, I still wanted to make amends and learned how to make his favorite sandwich. This French dip recipe is so delicious—the perfect meaty, cheesy sandwich to serve to family and friends. My husband requests them at least once a week, and I never turn him down!

They’re easy—your crock pot does most of the work—but look impressive enough to serve to guests. I love serving ours with a side of homemade fries if I have the time. The best dinner you’ll have!

 

Ingredients: Sauté peppers and onions and top the sandwiches with them for some extra flavor.
1 2.5-3 lb. beef roast (you can use a frozen roast if you want)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
salt and pepper
2 1-ounce packages dry onion soup mix
2 c. water
2 cans beef broth
6-8 large buns
Swiss, provolone, or mozzarella cheese, shredded or sliced.

Directions:

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and rub roast with salt and pepper.

When very hot, carefully place roast in pan and sear on all sides. You’re not cooking the meat, you’re just browning it quickly on all sides to add flavor and seal in the juices.

Place in crock pot and sprinkle with onion soup mix. Pour water and beef broth over roast.

Cook 8-10 hours on low or cook 4-5 hours on high and another 3-4 hours on low. When the meat is ready, shred with a fork.

Place meat in crusty rolls or bread. Top with cheese and broil open-faced in the oven or toaster oven for a few minutes, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

Ladle juices into small cups for dipping and enjoy!

Quick tip: You can skip the step where you sear the meat and put it directly in the crock pot but it will be a little less flavorful.
