Here is a super easy crockpot meal that is great for a super fast weeknight dinner or a weekend get-together with a house full of good friends.
We like to make this when we have company over, we start it in the morning and by the time nap time is done and everyone has gathered at your place you have an easy meal that didn’t keep you in the kitchen all day…Hip Hip Hooray! It’s also great for football season, since it’s carnivore-friendly and the men-folk can load up their sandwiches with piles of meat during the shortest of commercial breaks!!
Make it soon, you’ll be soooo glad you did š
Oh yummy, yum, yummerson!
Kids aren’t the only ones who love to dip their food š

- About 30 minutes before eating, take out the meat and shred.
- Place meat back into the juices and stir to flavor all the meat.
- Split your rolls and top with sliced cheese.

Place your roast in the crockpot along with one can of French Onion Soup, Beef Broth and a Bottle of Beer…
Take out your meat about a half hour before eating and shred it up into nice sandwich-sized pieces.
Put the meat back in the juices and let simmer until you are ready to eat…
When you’re ready to eat, split your rolls and toast in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes or until your cheese is good and melt-y!

So…im not really sure how I found your blog, but I LOVE reading it everyday. You are so enthusiastic about life and I love that. I made these french dip sandwiches last night and they were amazing!!! WE just ate them again today for lunch. SO good. I didn’t add the beer b/c we don’t drink but they were still outrageously delicious. My husband thought I was amazing, even though I only took 5 minutes to throw it into the crock pot š Gotta love meals like this. Anyway, keep up all your awesome posts! You are so cute!
Yummy!!

OK so I have been gone for a while, maybe you cried, maybe you didn’t but now I am back and flippin’ heck! I want this really bad! Make it for me please, trying to think up funny posts and comment on blogs is makin’ me hungry…
My husband thanks you in advance. š
I have never heard of this, but i am so sure my hubby will lurve it!!thanks a bunch,Rosie.x
Found this recipe through Pinterest and cannot wait to try it out tonight. Sounds delicious!
My picky daughter immediately asked if we could have seconds and then asked for seconds.
Is the roast frozen when you put it in the crockpot?
Just saw this last night and am trying it today. It smells wonderful so far. Thank you for sharing!
IS it possible to put everything in the crock pot the day before and just stick it in the fridge?
Is it ok to serve to kids? Does the alcohol burn off??
I’ve never put everything in the crockpot the night before but I assume if it’s refrigerated everything should be okay! And @Dena, yes, the alcohol burns off so you can definitely serve this meal to children!!
Found you via Pinterest and I have to say your recipes looks wonderful! Always looking for quick, delicious crockpot ideas for our hectic life. This has made the mealplan for next week! I’ve done the prep work in advance with my crockpot and never had any problems. Thanks in advance!
how many people does this serve?
Can’t wait to fix it. Love French dip sandwiches. I’m always looking for different recipes, or for something that I don’t all ready have.
Made it, it was so easy. Came out delish.
Going to try this tonight, looking forward to surprising the family!!
Absolutely delicious! And perfect go to dinner for busy working moms!
in my crockpot as we speak!!!!!!
How do you make the au jus for dipping?
It’s the juice Vikki!
what type of roast do you recommend?
Any type of roast works great in a crock pot!
I’m not a fan of beer. Is there something that can be substituted that will still give it flavor?
I have tried a few different French dip crockpot recipes before, and this is by far the tastiest! The roast just pulls apart and the “au jus” is good as well. I will definitely be making this again. Found this on pinterest will have to check out some more of your recipes!
Looks & sounds Yummy I’m going fixing it this weekend.
Do you think this would freeze well? I know there is going to be a TON of leftovers and I was wondering if after cooking I could freeze half of the leftovers and have again in the future.
Hi Angela!
Yes, this freezes really well (just the meat and juices portion!) Enjoy!!
xo,
Maggie
what about using deli roast beef??
I have never tried this recipe with deli roast beef. If you do try it, let us know how it turns out!
I love FOOD, but am diabetic and have to count those Carbs š So I will be looking for any low carb recipes that you have …. this Crockpot French Dip Sandwich looks wonderful !
