Boo Mama's Dip Tacular: French Dip Version


I'm so excited to be a part of BooMama's Dip Tacular and share with you my "French Dip Recipe." Now I realize that this is more like a main course meal than and dip for chips and crackers, but it's perfect to serve at your next tailgate or football watching party. Besides, it has "dip" in the name.
.
It's easy, yummy, and the dip or "au jus" is so tasty that I guess you could serve it solo with some crusty french bread. Of course, we tend to serve it with kaiser rolls or french buns, but it's your party so do whatever works.
.
This is also the perfect take along dish to a cookout, church pot luck, or family that's just had a baby. The smells that come from the crock pot make your whole home smell like fall.
.
French Dip
1 (4 to 6 pound) Beef Roast
your choice, the better the cut the juicer the sandwich, but cheap roasts work too.
1 Can French Onion Soup
1 Can Beef Broth ( I buy the lower sodium)
1 Bottle of Beer
.
Place the roast in crock pot and cover with the ingredients. Cook all day(6 plus hours).
About half way through the cooking process you can take the roast out and slice into smaller chunks, this makes it easier to break up when done.
The au jus in the crock pot can be used directly or you can heat it up on the stove and remove the fat, either way it's great.
Serve on hoagie buns, kaiser rolls whatever bread you fancy.
Leftovers freeze well.
.
This fun dip is great all Football Season long and the crowd will love it even if your team doesn't win the big game.
