A good sandwich should drip all down your hands! You will need to roll your sleeves up for this one! It’s meaty, cheesy and juicy! It’s a perfect twist on the classic!!

A loaded sandwich! Extra moist beef!

French Dip Sandwiches was one of the first recipes I posted! I started with it because it is a staple at our house. They show up on our table several times a month.  I love them because, well, they taste amazing! And because I throw the meat in the slow cooker and it’s ready when we are! I’ve updated the sandwich since the beginning days. You must try this sandwich. It will become a winner in your dinner rotation too!

Good sandwiches should be messy! This one drips everywhere! - Little Dairy on the Prairie

I usually make this ahead of time and usually with leftover Sunday dinner roast. So here’s what I do.

1. Add roast, seasonings and Au Jus to slow cooker. Let it rip.

2. Slice cheese and refrigerate until I’m ready to throw the sandwiches together.

3. Slice and butter buns. Store in an air tight bag (the one they came in) until time to broil.

4. Saute some onions and pepper. Refrigerate until I’m ready for them.

Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwich!!!

When I get home all I have to do is stick the buns under the broiler for a minute. Layer cheese and meat on buns. Microwave peppers and onions. Serve with au jus on the side. Seriously, a hearty sandwich can be on the table in no time!!

By the way, I’m thinking this would be absolutely delish as a slider for the big game on Sunday!!

    I’m a messaphobic, so I don’t know if I can agree with you about the sandwich dripping down your hands part, but I would love to very carefully eat one of these with lots of napkins at the ready 😉 Thanks for sharing this with us at Saturday Night Fever, Amy!

      For messaphobics it would be worth it to eat this sandwich with a fork and knife if you had too! Thanks for the party!!
