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
