SLOW COOKER FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES
Anyhow, every time I make this slow cooker french dip sandwich recipe my family loves it — yes, even the kids, which isn’t always the case, as you’d probably guess. 🙂 And, of course it’s about as easy as slow cooker recipes come, so if you’re planning on having a busy week, this is the meal to count on. I promise you’ll get no gripes, only full tummies. And, serve it with some french fries and you’re golden, even better, right?!
Once you’ve browned the chuck roast, add it to the slow cooker if you haven’t already. Combine all three soups and put the roast on high for four hours, or on low for 8-10 hours. Either way is totally fine and it will be delicious either way as well. Once the cooking time has completed, remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred with two forks.

Brown Chuck Roast in vegetable oil on both sides

Slow cook on high for four hours or on low for 8-10 hours
When slow cooker is done, move your roast to a bowl, remove fatty pieces and shred the meat.
Pour the juice from the crockpot into a pan that you can simmer in your stovetop
If you like a creamier french dip au jus combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water. Then, add that mixture to the soups and boil until you reach the consistency you want
Otherwise, simmer au jus juice to reduce it to half (This will be your french dip sauce and it will be dang good.)
Put your shredded meat onto hoagie rolls or french bread slices and top with provolone cheese
Put sandwiches in the oven on low broil until the cheese is as browned as you like it – ENJOY!
