Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS:

4 pounds rump roast (choice boneless bottom round) See note below
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
6 French rolls (I use 2 French Baguettes)

DIRECTIONS:
Sprinkle Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder (season to taste) on bottom of crock pot, then again on top after everything else has been added.

Trim excess fat from the rump roast, and place in a slow cooker. Add the beef broth, onion soup and beer. Cook on Low for 7 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 for step 3. (Optional)

Split French rolls, Bake 10 minutes, or until heated through.

Slice the meat on the diagonal, and place on the rolls. Serve the sauce for dipping.

Serve with chips and dill pickles. Yummmmm!

I use 2 ½ lbs of meat for 4 people. But use full measures as above of everything else.

4/1/17 I've been using Chuck Roast (from Costco, 4.5 lbs) and it works beautifully.

Notes: In my crockpot I cook it on High most of the 7 hours cooking it about 8-9 hours. It doesn't seem to get overcooked. I think on low it would take much longer.
