French Dip

Allrecipes.com doesn’t normally get a lot of foodie blog love, well at least the foodie blogs that I follow. So when Nicole from Baking Bites had a positive review for the Easy Slow Cooker French Dip recipe from allrecipes.com I knew I had to check it out. My luck with allrecipes.com is about 50/50. I have found some great recipes, and some that were very highly rated but in my opinion sucked. This recipe was very simple: 4 lb. roast, can of french onion soup, can of beef consomme and a bottle of beer. Put in crockpot for at least 7 hrs on low. The beer worried me a little. I never acquired the taste for beer and don’t like the flavor. But you really couldn’t taste it. I served it on whole wheat hoagie rolls (next time I will splurge and do white rolls) and smoked provolone. The leftover juices were very tasty. I strained the mixture and reduced it on the stove for 5 or 10 min. to intensify the flavor. Chris liked it too, I think I’ll add it to my rotation.
