CROCK POT (SLOW COOKER) FRENCH DIP ROAST BEEF SANDWICHES
I have another tried and true French Dip recipe and also use another great one here on 'zaar, but when I went to make it the other day, I was lacking all of the ingredients to make either...so the following was born. Turns out everyone liked it better than either of my previous ones, so I figured I better post it for posterity!

Steps:
- Place roast in 4.5 - 6 quart slow cooker.
- Sprinkle with onion soup mix and then pour onion soup and beer over it.
- Drop bouillon cubes in different spots into the liquid and sprinkle pepper and salt to taste over all.
- Cook on high for 4-5 hours. (I guess you could also cook on low for 8 hours or so, but I haven't tried it!).
- Remove meat and slice or shred; return to slow cooker and cover.
- Turn to low and let meat soak up the juices until ready to serve.
- Our favorite way to serve: open rolls and place a slice of provolone on one side of each; place under broiler until cheese is almost melted. Spoon beef on top with slotted spoon and serve sandwich with a side cup of au jus.

- Using a wire whisk and whisking all the while, bring the gravy mixture to a boil over medium-high; then reduce to a simmer and continue to cook and whisk another 5 minutes (gravy wil thcken more as it cools).
- P.S. Good sides are green beans (Gruene bohnen), sweet and sour red cabbage (Rotkohl), and boiled or mashed potatoes topped with fresh snipped parsley. Guten appetit!

ANOTHER BEEF SLOW COOKER POT ROAST -- HUBBY & KIDS FAVORITE
This recipe does not use any processed items -like soups, mixes... The family loves this-especially the brown potatoes that cook with the meat-the measurements are approximate....Potatoes used are about the size of a small lime-if you use larger ones, the cut in half. I like yukon gold poatoes for this. If you see that the top of the roast is drying out while cooking tehn baste.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, shoulder roast, and brisket are all good choices for pot roast. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before cooking: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. You can brown the beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, or you can use the "sear" function on your slow cooker.
- Add vegetables and herbs: Vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are classic additions to pot roast. You can also add herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your pot roast. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and vegetables.
- Cook the pot roast on low for 8-10 hours: This will give the beef time to become tender and the vegetables time to soften.
- Serve the pot roast with mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice: These are all classic sides for pot roast.
