This delicious french dip sandwich is so easy to make using your slow cooker.

French Dip Sandwiches

Did you know I wrote a slow cooker cookbook?  Check out the Holiday Slow Cooker Cookbook for 100 delicious recipes.

Ever since I was young my favorite hot sandwich has been a french dip sandwich.  As a kid I thought dipping my sandwich into that rich au jus as so fun!  I still do! Yum.  Today’s version is made in the slow cooker and the rosemary and thyme seasoning give it a nice rich flavor.

The best part is – it’s easy.  I made this on Sunday.  Put it in the crock pot in the morning and by the time we were home from church (4:00)  it was ready to eat.  All I had to do was shred the meat, toast the buns and melt some cheese on top and we were good to go.

Dipping a Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

The au jus is made from the remaining broth and juices after you cook the meat.  Just strain the liquid to get rid of any pieces of meat or fat that may be in there.  I like to serve the slow cooker french dip sandwiches on a toasted bun.  I just butter the roll and then toast it in a frying pan.  Pile on the meat and then melt some cheese on top under the broiler.  I prefer provolone but this time we had pepper jack and it was delicious!  Gave it a slight little kick.

    Hello! I stumbled across this recipe on Pinterest a while back. I wanted to surprise my husband on Valentine’s day yesterday with something new that I knew he would love. (He’s always been a french dip fan, but I figured it was out of my cooking league.) I re-read your recipe and saw that it was actually fairly easy so I cooked it up! It was a huge success!!! 😀 It was very tender and tasty. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

    Is it really only 4 whole black peppercorns? I fb’d you the same question but my post disappeared. I would like to make it this Friday for a birthday dinner.

          WoW!! Amazing!! I doubled the meat and the broth to make enough for 6 hungry adults and three children and it was a huge hit! They all said, BEST FRENCH DIP…EVER! I was skeptical because it was sooo easy. Thank you!

    What is Montreal Steak Seasoning and what can be used in its place?

    Also, I think a nice substitution when making French dips in the crockpot is to use Beef Consomme instead of broth.

    Look forward to trying your recipe.
