1-Getting started with this Crockpot French Dip Sandwich: First, prepare all ingredients by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Then, generously season the 2 ½ to 3 pounds of beef chuck roast with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.

2-Next: sear the roast on all sides for 1 to 2 minutes per side until it’s nicely browned, which helps seal in the juices. Transfer the roast and any pan juices to your slow cooker, then sprinkle 2 packages of dry onion soup mix over it. Add 2 cups of water and 2 cans of beef broth to create that flavorful base.

3-Cook: on HIGH for 4 to 6 hours or on LOW for 8 to 10 hours until the meat shreds easily with a fork. Once done, remove the roast, shred the meat, and pile it onto sliced crusty rolls aim for 6 to 8 rolls, with ciabatta recommended for the best texture. Top each with 6 to 8 slices of Swiss or provolone cheese and broil until the cheese melts and the buns toast.

4-Serve: your sandwiches with the juices from the slow cooker as au jus for dipping, turning a simple meal into a French Dip Sandwich with Juice delight. This step-by-step guide ensures your Slow Cooker Sandwiches come out tender and full of flavor every time.
