Yeah, I know, better late than never, right? I got a crockpot when we got married but it was TERRIBLE and burned everything I ever made. The last meal got thrown in the trash IN the crockpot. LOL.
I bought a new one last month and can I tell you - now I know what I've been missing!!!
I got this one - it's AWESOME (although I got a better deal than they're offering now HAHAHA!
 I've made probably 4 or 5 meals in it so far and each one has been great! A few days ago I made french dip sandwiches. Seriously - the best french dips I've EVER HAD.
Here's the recipe if you want to try it out!!
Easy Slow Cooker French Dip INGREDIENTS - 4 pounds rump roast
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup (they were out of this at the store so I just used a packet of onion soup mix and water and it was great)
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer (I used Guinness - Aaron's beer of choice)
- 6 French rolls (I found little mini-french rolls that were perfect sized for the kids)
- 2 tablespoons butter
DIRECTIONS - Trim excess fat from the rump roast, and place in a slow cooker. Add the beef broth, onion soup and beer. Cook on Low setting for 7 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Split French rolls, and spread with butter. Bake 10 minutes, or until heated through.
- Slice the meat on the diagonal, and place on the rolls. Serve the sauce for dipping.
The kids put ketchup & mustard on their sandwiches and said they were like hamburgers. Eli is a VERY picky eater so the fact that he said this meal came "right after hamburgers and pizza" on his list of favorite meals is a biggie! LOL. This does make a LOT of meat - I had this for lunch for DAYS. LOL.
Enjoy!Labels: cooking, crock pot, french dip sandwiches |

That is so funny...I was just thinking about posting a recipe on my blog and tagging some others to do the same. I LOVE getting new recipes! I feel like I always end up in a rut of making the same things all the time. I am going to bust out my crockpot and try this one. Steve doesn't drink beer very often, so I might have to go to the corner store and buy one individual bottle and risk looking like a whino coming out with my beer in a brown paper sack :-) Great post!
(And thanks for the photography encouragement. That means a lot coming from you! I think you have a great eye.)
