Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef roast
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cups beef broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 pieces hoagie rolls
- Sliced provolone or Swiss cheese Choose your preferred cheese
Method
Preparation
- Place the beef roast in the slow cooker and generously season with salt and pepper.
- Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth to the slow cooker, ensuring the roast is well-covered.
Cooking
- Cover and cook on low for 480 minutes (8 hours) or high for 240 minutes (4 hours), until the beef is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, use two forks to shred the beef straight in the slow cooker.
Serving
- Serve the shredded beef piled high on hoagie rolls, topped with slices of cheese that will melt with the heat of the beef.
- Strain the cooking liquid into small bowls to serve as au jus for dipping.
Notes
For a leaner option, consider using a chuck roast or a round roast. For a vegetarian version, substitute the beef with portobello mushrooms and a rich vegetable broth. Optional variations include adding sliced jalapeños or different types of cheese like cheddar or mozzarella.
