French Dip Sandwiches In Crock Pot

French Dip Sandwiches in the Crock Pot are easy to make! I provide two variations one that includes browning the meat and sautéing the onions and one for when you're crunched for time and toss everything in the slow cooker.

Tender melt in your mouth chuck roast, onions and pepperoncinis makes these so flavorful with a delicious au jus for dipping.

Since it's throw back Thursday I thought it's a great time to revisit a family favorite! Spicy Crock Pot French Dips.

When I made Spicy Crock Pot French Dips this time I thought I would try to make them without all the fussy pre browning and caramelizing because sometimes life calls for easy and right now my life needs simplicity.

We tossed everything in the Crock Pot before church a few Sunday's back and I was so thankful I had nothing else to worry about the rest of the day! 

I'm happy to say the roast was amazingly delicious without all the fuss of pre-browning.

So either way you make it, it's a winner.

Spicy Crock Pot French Dips are super easy to make and perfect for any parties you might be hosting or just an easy fix it and forget it meal for a busy weeknight! 

Here's how to make Crock Pot French Dips:

If time allows I like to brown the roast and sauté the onions but it is still really delicious just placing everything in the slow cooker.

If your going to brown your meat dry off a 3lb Chuck Roast with a paper towel. 

Season all sides generously with:

• 1 teaspoon Salt

• 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Heat in a heavy duty skillet over medium heat:

• 1 tablespoon Butter 

• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil 

 Add Chuck Roast and Sear until brown.

( I love cast iron as it is a lot harder to burn things since distributes heat more evenly. It's been my go to pan for years.)

When roast is brown rotate until all sides are brown. Add to Slow Cooker.

(Otherwise remove roast to a plate if using a heavy duty stock pot or dutch oven.)

Add:

• 1 whole Large Onion, Sliced

To the pan and cook until caramelized stirring as needed. 

Once caramelized add to roast in crockpot.

Pour 1 cup Beef Stock into the pan and scrape up any of the brown bits stuck to the bottom. Pour all the juice from the pan over the roast.

Pour over roast remaining:

• 3 cups Beef Stock

• 3 cups Water or additional Beef Stock

Add:

• 6 cloves Garlic, Peeled and Sliced (If you love garlic add extra!) 

• 1 teaspoon Granulated Garlic

• 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning

• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce (For Soy Free use Coconut Aminos.)

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

• 10 whole Pepperoncini or more to taste

 Cover with the lid and cook for at least 8-10 hours on low or  6 hours on high or until roast pulls apart easily. 

Slice roast and place on a toasted hoagie roll or baguette, top with pepperoncinis, onions, and if desired cheese ( Swiss, Provolone, or Cheddar are all delicious! 

Strain au jus into small bowls. Dip French Dip Sandwich in au jus and enjoy!
