Slow Cooker Recipe

French Dip

French Dip

This absolutely fabulous slow-cooked beef with juice (or au Jus, if you prefer) makes one very popular sandwich. Fix-It and Forget-It staff members were vying for the leftovers after the photos were taken.

The beef comes out of the slow cooker melt-in-your-mouth tender, with a nice hint of rosemary. Sliced thin and piled onto a hard roll, this is a sandwich that will steal the show at your next holiday party or family gathering.
