Favorite Family Dinner



Tonight for dinner we are having my oldest son's favorite food in the whole wide world!  He would eat this meal everyday if possible.  
 
Actually everyone in the family likes these sandwiches.  Even my picky non-meat eating son.  These French Dips are super easy to make and taste amazing!

French Dip Sandwiches

Ingredients:
2 lb. beef roast
5 c. beef broth (divided)
.7 oz. pkg. Italian dressing mix
1/8-1/4 of an onion, thickly sliced
Provolone Cheese
Sandwich rolls

Place in Crockpot:
The roast, 3 cups of broth, Italian dressing mix, and onion.  Cook on high for 5-6 hours (or until the meat is cooked through).

 
When the meat is done cooking:
Take it out of the Crockpot and place in a separate bowl.  Cut off the fatty parts. 
 
Use a hand mixer to shred the meat. 

My mom told me about this meat shredding trick a few months ago.  It has been a lifesaver.  I used to shred meat with two forks and it took forever.  Now I can shred any meat in just a few minutes.
 
 For Dip:
Strain the Juice from the Crockpot into a separate bowl using a wire strainer and a large soup ladle.  Add 2-3 cups of Beef Broth to the juice.

 
To Serve:
Add a small amount of the juice to the meat to moisten(about 1/2 cup).  Melt provolone cheese onto the roll and place meat on top.
 
Dip and enjoy!
