This recipe is SUPER easy and is ideal for a busy family like ours. Between work, school, and kids extracurricular we need an easy, yummy dinner that basically cooks itself.
I was lucky enough to find that the Rump Roast that the recipe calls for was on sale at our local grocery store. This is a win considering ho high prices have risen in the past few months.
Any who, let’s get right into it!!
Oh!!! And before I forget, any leftover with this recipe the next day we have roast with potatoes and rice. YUMMY!!!!! Getting the most bang out of our buck
Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches
Let the crockpot do most of the cooking with this super simple, yet flavorful dish
Equipment
- 6 qt. Crockpot
- Dutch oven large pot or just a large pot
Ingredients
- 4-5 lb Rump Roast
- 1 bag Hoagie buns
- 1 packet Au Jus
- 2 packet French onion soup mix
- 10.5 oz can beef consommé
- 1 tbsp worchesteshire sauce
- 1 tbsp McCormick steak seasoning
- 1 tbsp Tonys
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 4 medium yellow onions, sliced
- 3 cups water
- 1 bag sliced provolone cheese
Instructions
- Take Roast out of packaging and transfer into a bowl. Add some oil to coat it. Then rub it down with Tony's seasoning and McCormick seasoning. Set to the side.
- Prepare crockpot by adding the liner – optional
- Turn stove on to high and preheat the dutch oven. This will allow the rest to have a good sear when it goes in.
- In the mean time, cut up the onions
- When the pot is really hot add in 1 tbsp oil. Then Add in the roast. You're not cooking the roast, just giving it a good sear. Sear on each side about 30-45 seconds.
- Take out of dutch oven and transfer to pre-lined crockpot (easy clean up). Turn the heat to medium.
- Add the onions and garlic into the dutch oven. Cook down until onions are transparent (about 2 minutes).
- Then add packet of Au Ju and the 2 packets of French onion soup mix.
- Now to deglaze the dutch oven add 3 cups of water and let it come to a boil.
- Take off heat and transfer the juices and veggies directly to the crockpot with roast in it.
- Cook on low for 6 hours (will yield shredded beef)
Sandwich Assebly
- Set oven to low broil mode
- Remove shredded meat from crockpot and reserve the juices
- Add meat to buns and top with provolone cheese
- Put on oven safe pan and let the broiler melt the cheese
- Be VERY careful to not let it burn. 20-30 seconds should do the trick
- Scoop up some juices and onions in a bowl, dip the sandwich, and enjoy
