French Dip Recipe

This is one of my favorite meals and it is so easy! I always stock up on roast beef when it comes on sale at Albertsons. My favorite cut of meat to use is Chuck roast… but any cut will work for this recipe. This recipe can easily be made for a small or large group! Put it in the crock pot in the morning and 8 hours later you have fall apart, tender meat!

In your crock pot add your frozen roast beef, ( any size) we use Chuck Roast

1 tablespoon Onion powder
1 tablespoon Garlic powder
3 tablespoon McCormick Italian Herb Seasoning
1 tablespoon “Better then Bouillon” beef base
5-6 cups of beef broth
If you start with hot broth and a hot crock pot then you cook on high for 4 hours.
If you start with cold crock pot and cold broth add 3-4 more hours on low heat after the first 4hours.

(In this photo I had not added all the broth yet, make sure it covers 3/4 of the meat)

Pull the meat out and let it rest for about 20 minutes and then shred with a fork, it will just fall apart. We eat ours with a little shredded cheese on top like provolone or mozzarella and horseradish for a kick. Use the drippings to dip your sandwich in. Enjoy!

I have discovered this New Bridge Horseradish White Cheddar cheese, it is found in the specialty cheese section at Albertsons. It has the smooth creamy cheddar but with the kick of horseradish even my kids like it on their french dip sandwich. It is an easy way to change your sandwich and make it taste like it came right from a gourmet sandwich shop. Next time you are at the store look for this and other specialty cheeses to spice up your sandwich.
