We love French Dip sandwiches! These are quick and sooo easy!
I buy canned French Onion soup and put 2 cans in crockpot. Add Roast beef for number of people you are feeding. One lb is plenty for my family of four. Just let everything heat up. I put the soup in for about 15 minutes before adding the rb.
I toast buns with provolone cheese on top. Spoon au jus from crockpot into small cups/ bowls for dipping. Top buns with roast beef and enjoy. We do these year round! Have had them when having company over and they were a big hit!
Serve with chips and veggies and dip.
I have three, and they may been slight repeats of some on here, but I'm posting anyway!
1) Chicken fajitas - I put a pack of boneless chicken breasts in the crockpot with a container of chicken stock and 2 packets of taco seasoning powder.
Serve with soft tortillas, cheese, whatever.
2) Pork BBQ - Put a boneless pork roast in crockpot with two bottles (or one large) of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. It just falls apart at the end of the day. We use ours for sandwiches.
3) Italian Sausage - Put Italian Sausage links in crockpot with a large jar of Ragu (or whatever sauce). Cook all day. Come home and think that someone's Italian grandma has come for a visit. Cook a pot of spaghetti noodles...enjoy.
Italian Beef
4 lbs. chuck/roast beef 2 C. water
2 pkg. Italian dressing mix 1 red pepper
1-2 tsp. soy sauce 4 beef bouillon cubes
1-2 tbs. chopped garlic
Place beef in crock pot. Mix remaining ingredients in with beef. Cook for 7 hours, shredding beef as it softens. Serve with buns or rolls.
I love this thread!! Just went back to work after being a SAHM for 13+ yrs and dinners have been rocky to say the least...tried the chicken w/ Frank's Wing sauce last night...all 3 (fussy) kids said it was a keeper...LOVED it!!! I used skinless chicken thighs, turned it on high for 9-10 hrs...so tender, shredded perfectly, served with baked potatoes I placed in the oven on a timer. As OP said, be sure to find Franks Wing sauce, not hot sauce (only one supermarket here carried it). I'm going to try a few more crockpot meals this week from this thread.
Subbing
But, I have one to throw out there too....chicken fajitas. I toss in a few frozen boneless chicken breasts, add a sliced onion, sliced green & red peppers and a pour a jar of salsa over it. Cook on low all day. Fill up the flour tortillas and we just have with chips & salsa or cheese dip!
This was so fantastic. I put this in the bottom of the crock pot. Then I cut up chunks of potatoes. Wrapped them in foil and put them on top of the meat. Then I got ears of corn on the cob from wal-mart for $.25 each (did not shuck them) layed them on top. It was GREAT!!!!!
Thanks!!
One of my families favorites are crockpot porkchops and gravy. I buy the boneless pork sirloin chops because they're bigger, but any boneless porkchop will work. I place 4 in the crockpot and sprinkle half a pkt. of lipton onion soup mix on top, one can cream of mushroom soup, half a can of water...then the next 4 chops, remainder of soup mix, another can of cream of mushroom soup, another half can of water. Make sure the liquid covers your chops. Cook on high 4 hours then reduce to low until they fall apart. Makes the most melt in your mouth porkchops and the thickest gravy. I serve with mashed potatoes and whole kernal corn.![]()
