I have another tried and true French Dip recipe and also use another great one here on 'zaar, but when I went to make it the other day, I was lacking all of the ingredients to make either...so the following was born. Turns out everyone liked it better than either of my previous ones, so I figured I better post it for posterity!

10 sandwiches (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place roast in 4.5 - 6 quart slow cooker.
  2. 2
    Sprinkle with onion soup mix and then pour onion soup and beer over it.
  3. 3
    Drop bouillon cubes in different spots into the liquid and sprinkle pepper and salt to taste over all.
  4. 4
    Cook on high for 4-5 hours. (I guess you could also cook on low for 8 hours or so, but I haven't tried it!).
  5. 5
    Remove meat and slice or shred; return to slow cooker and cover.
  6. 6
    Turn to low and let meat soak up the juices until ready to serve.
  7. 7
    Our favorite way to serve: open rolls and place a slice of provolone on one side of each; place under broiler until cheese is almost melted. Spoon beef on top with slotted spoon and serve sandwich with a side cup of au jus.

    I'm sorry, the concept of this recipe is wonderful, BUT...the sodium content in this recipe is above and beyond the necessary. The simplicity of using packets of seasoning is great, but not at the cost of my families health. I found that creating my own seasoning combo's and using those made this recipe equally delicious and succulent WITHOUT the ridiculous amount of salt.

    I made this the other night for supper and we loved it. I had some trouble finding the progresso french onion soup so i subbed beef broth and some sauteed onions. We really liked the flavor that the beer added to this. I used a wheat beer and it was so good. I used swiss cheese, only cuz I thought i had some provolone but didnt, next time I will use the provolone. thank you so much for sharing your version of french dip, its delicious.

    It is not very often that I make dinner and all five of us agree that a recipe is awesome--this is one of those recipes! I cooked my 4.5 pound roast on low in the crock pot for 9 hours. I sliced the roast into pretty thin pieces, then put it all back in the crock pot while I melted the provolone cheese onto the rolls in the oven. I served the sandwiches with a cup of the au jus as suggested. The roast has a marvelous flavor and is absolutely fall apart tender. I will be making this delicious recipe again soon! Thanks for a keeper, Karen.
