It's only week two of my New Year's Resolution to make one new recipe every week and I haven't quit yet! Yay for me! Last night I made French Dip sandwiches. You MUST make this. I beg you. It was so easy and so delicious. It fit into my criteria of an easy weeknight meal. My picky eater told me about 4 times that he loved it while he was inhaling it. SCORE!! I found the recipe on http://www.ourbestbites.com/. I am now a daily stalker of this blog. I really love all of the food that they feature. I did make the white chicken chili from this blog too. It was just okay but this French Dip was amazing. I used a chuck roast for this. You have to sear it really well on all sides after liberally sprinkling salt and pepper over it.
A good sear will give it this amazing crust. After the searing you just put it in the crock pot on low along with 2 cups of water and 2 cans of beef broth and 2 Lipton onion soup packets for 6-8 hours.
Your house will smell amazing all day. You know it's done when you insert a fork and it feels like buttuh. Take the meat out, shred it up, top it on some crusty french rolls (this is key-the type of bread), place some provolone or mozz. cheese on top and place in broiler for about 3-4 min. The next step is to enjoy some deliciousness.
Use the liquid in the crock pot for your Au jus for dipping. It was really good. Geez, my pictures suck. I am always trying to photograph food at night without any natural light. Maybe next time they will be better. You get the idea though. I served these up with some baked oven fries. Now go make some French Dips for your fam. They will love you for it!
