Fredrick's French Dips

Natalie Fredrick (wife of Jared)

This recipe was originally in the "Keeping Up" cookbook that my good friend Grace Ivory published. She and I lived in Chicago together and we shared a love of cooking - and eating. On cold days we were known to sit in one of our apartments together and eat an entire 9 x 13 pan of some sort of cookie bar. Good thing we were in our 20's! But back to sandwiches, French dip have always been my very favorite - ever since I was a little girl. This is my go-to recipe when I'm taking dinner to someone.

1 (3 lb.) cross rib, rump, or eye-of-round beef roast
1 (10 3/4 oz.) can beef consommé
1 1/2 cups water
1 Good Seasons Italian Dressing Packet
1 au jus gravy packet (any brand will do)
Sliced swiss cheese for serving
Hoagie buns for serving

Place roast in a crockpot. Whisk ingredients together and pour over roast. Cook on high in the crockpot for 6-8 hours or until you can shred it easily with a fork.

Place shredded meat on hoagie rolls and top with Swiss cheese. Broil sandwiches open-faced until cheese is melted and rolls are browned. Serve with strained au jus mixture.
