Main Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef roast (chuck or top loin)
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 can beef broth (or 4 cups homemade)
- 1 cup water
- French rolls or hoagie buns
- Sliced provolone or mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Preparation
- Place the beef roast in the crockpot.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the beef broth, water, and onion soup mix. Pour this mixture over the beef.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender.
- Once cooked, remove the roast from the crockpot and allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Layer the slices of meat onto a French roll. Top with sliced provolone or mozzarella cheese, then return the sandwich to the crockpot for a few minutes if you desire melted cheese.
- Serve each sandwich with a side of the warm au jus for dipping.

Notes
Ingredient substitutions: Use chicken or pork for a different flavor profile. For a lighter option, try using a lean cut of beef. Optional: Add sautéed onions and peppers or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a pan over low heat, adding a bit of beef broth to keep the meat moist.
