French Dip Sandwiches in my Crockpot

September 10, 2012 by Julie 2 Comments

The last week or two I have really gotten into crockpot meals. A lot easier than making a big meal each night. I also like that I can’t talk myself out of cooking when most of the meal is already almost done in the crockpot. I am also back to meal planning. The night before my shopping day I plan to sit down and find yummy recipes I want to make in the next week. Most of these will come from Pinterest or just by Googling what I want to make.  I know that meal planning makes life so much easier and I have been out of the routine of it for too long.

I love to eat out but we really can’t afford to do it more than once a week.  Meal planning will help with that too.

I Googled, “Easy Crockpot recipes” to find some simple ones. I need simple, at least right now. I have found a lot of yummy ones but they usually have too many ingredients for me. I am looking for recipes with 3-5 ingredients max.

On Saturday I made yummy french dip sandwiches. I added some french fries and it became a yummy meal for us.

Here is the recipe from About.com by Linda Larsen.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 hours

Total Time: 10 hours, 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb. fresh beef brisket
  • 1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
  • 10-oz. can condensed beef broth

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in 3-4 quart slow cooker. Cover crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours until beef is tender. Skim any fat from liquid in crockpot. Remove beef and cut across grain into thin slices. Serve on crusty baguette rolls and serve with the hot broth for dipping. 8 sandwiches.

See? Super easy and super yummy!

About Soldier’s Wife, Crazy Life

 

Welcome to Soldier’s Wife, Crazy Life! I am so glad you are here.

My name is Julie and I first became a military spouse in 2005 when my husband of 3 years re-joined the Army. Then, in 2014, he joined the National Guard. In January of 2024, he retired from the National Guard after 21 years of service.

During our time in the military, we got to spend 4 years in Germany as well as Tennessee where we now call home.

We have three boys and have been through four deployments together.

I hope that you can find support for your own deployments, PCS moves, or anything else military life brings you through my articles and social media posts.
