In the winter, there is nothing better than comfort food and this is one of my families favorites. This crock pot french dip sandwich is warm, cheesy, and dripping with au jus! It just runs down your face and arms and you really don’t care.
Don’t throw away the juice left in the crockpot this is your au jus dip. Pour the juice in a small bowl and dip that big juicy french dip sandwich in it. The warmth of the meat and au jus will melt the cheese and it will put a big smile on your face. If you want to be really bad you can also serve it with a side of mash potatoes or forget the bread altogether and serve the meat and au jus over the mashed potatoes!
I hope you enjoy it!
