    Our 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches are the perfect easy family dinner. So quick to throw together and sure to please even the pickiest eaters.

    I am all about meals that are easy, but taste like they took you hours. Am I right? I also love meals that I can pop in the crock pot in the morning and then have minimal preparation come dinner time. What's more? I love meals that make great leftovers.

    These easy crock pot french dip sandwiches check all of those boxes.

    If you love sandwiches like we do, you will probably also love our classic egg salad sandwiches or our yummy grated egg avocado toast. 

    You can also find a ton of easy slow cooker dinner recipes here.

    Easy Crock Pot French Dip

    These slow cooker French dip sandwiches really are incredibly easy to throw together. Below you will find a step by step pictorial, or scroll down to the recipe card to view a video tutorial as well. 

    Four photos in a collage showing the steps for making French dip sandwiches in a slow cooker.

    Top Left - Add your roast, beef consommé and Italian dressing to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 hours, or until meat shreds easily with two forks. 

    Top Right - After your meat is done cooking, set your oven to broil. Open your sandwich rolls on a cookie sheet and butter each side. Add provolone cheese to one side of the rolls, if desired. 

    The butter acts as a barrier so that the extra juice from the meat doesn't make your buns soggy in 2 seconds. I do not love soggy things, and this works really well. If you add cheese, that obviously helps also.

    Bottom Left - Broil your buns for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown. Watch the oven carefully, because things can burn quickly on broil. 

    Bottom Right - Shred your roast and add desired amount of meat onto sandwich buns. Serve with remaining au jus.

      I found this on Pinterest a while back, and have made it a couple of times. It is wonderful! Even my hubby, who does not really like meat cooked in the crockpot, likes this. It's one of our favorites!
