French Dip Crock Pot

French Dip
 French dip recipe. Here is how she does it:

  • 3 lb chuck roast
  • 1 - 10.5 ounce can of condensed French Onion Soup
  • 1 - 10.5 ounce can of condensed beef consume
  • 1 - 10.5 ounce can of condensed beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon of beef broth granules
  • 1 Tablespoon of insant coffee granules (I prefer Folgers)

Place chuck roast in crock pot. In a medium sized bowl, mix remaining ingredients. Pour over roast. Cook on low for 10 hours. If using a 4 lb roast, add a 1/2 soup can of water.



Once cooked, shred beef and place on rolls that have been toasted under the broiler. Place a piece of provolone (or cheese of your choice) on top of shredded beef. Dip in broth from the crock pot and ENJOY!



*My Notes*

  1. I would guess that you should use at least a 3 - 4 quart crock pot. Just make sure your roast fits in the crock pot nicely, not overcrowded or too full once the soup mixtures are added.
  2. The leftovers would make great meat pies or barbecue

Rustic split-pea and potato soup -- ingredients

1 16oz. bag of split-peas (available for less than a dollar at most SuperTarget locations)

1 large red potato, washed and diced (you can leave the skin on for a pleasing texture, or peel it as you prefer)

1 1/2 cups of celery, cleaned and diced

1 1/2 cups of carrots, cleaned and diced

2 small to medium sized bay leaves

7 cups of water

salt and pepper to taste (use red pepper flakes if you like more of a kick)

2 ounces of ham steak, diced (optional; just skip this if you're looking for a vegetarian-friendly soup)

Rustic split-pea and potato soup -- directions

Combine all dry ingredients in your crockpot or slow cooker, and cover with the 7 cups of water. Turn on HIGH and let cook for 6 to 8 hours. The split-peas will naturally break down with the prolonged cooking time, so you don't need to run it through the food processor. Remove bay leaves and serve with fresh crusty bread or biscuits. Serves 6 to 8 bowls
