This Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwich recipe is so easy and always a family favorite. Packed with flavor and simple ingredients, these will be on your weekly meal plan rotation!
I have made version of this sandwich for years. Sometimes I’ve added peperoncini to them, sometimes a brown gravy, sometimes BBQ sauce…but I always come back to the classic. They are basically everything you love about French Onion Soup, in a messy, delicious sandwich with buttered, toasted bread and loads of cheese.
Not only are they irresistible, but they are insanely easy. You just dump your ingredients in your slow cooker and in a few hours your all set. I even made a fun little video for you to see how fast you can whip them up!
Now, as you can see, I removed the meat when it was mostly cooked. You can absolutely skip this part and let the meat cook until it’s shreddable. I just like these with the meat sliced instead. It will absolutely shred apart a little bit, but I like the larger slices, like a classic French Dip Sandwich.
Also, you can use either provolone or gruyere cheese on these! Actually, just about any cheese would be delicious, but provolone and gruyere are my favorite.
And toasting the bread is NOT optional. It makes the whole situation just BETTER.
When you serve it, ladle out some of that delicious au jus sauce and get to dipping!!
