Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches Recipe
Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches have tender and juicy beef roast and onions cooked long and slow and served on a toasted hoagie with melted provolone cheese. The cooking broth makes an awesome Au Jus for dipping.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chuck roast (trimmed off excess fat)
- 1 large onion
- 1 cup beef broth
- ⅛ cup water
- 1 packet Au Jus mix
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
Instructions
- Optional - sear the roast in a skillet over high heat, about 1 minute per side, then remove.
- Place the beef in a 4-quart slow cooker crockpot.
- Cut the onion into slices, then layer them on top of the roast.
- In a bowl, whisk the beef broth, water, Au jus mix, and onion soup mix. Pour over the onions in the pot.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours.
- Remove the meat from the crockpot and place it in a bowl with a little of the Au Jus. Use a fork to shred it.
- Preheat the broiler on high heat.
- Place the hoagie rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Open the hoagie rolls and fill with shredded beef and onions from the crockpot.
- Top with provolone cheese slices using 2 slices per sandwich.
- Broil open-faced for about 3 minutes, until the cheese is nicely melted. Watch closely so the bread doesn't burn.
- Ladle Au Jus liquid from the crockpot into individual dipping bowls.
- Serve the sandwiches with the Au Jus for dipping.
