Last night I prepared French Dip Sandwiches from Melissa's Bargains. I had thrown everything in the crock pot the night before and stored it in the fridge. So yesterday morning I was able to take it out, plug it in, turn it on and go.
Wednesdays are a bit hectic as my daughters both have swim class and we don't get home until almost 7:00. So being the first time I ever made this, I 'shredded' the roast when I got home from work and then threw it back in to the sauce on warm while we were at swim. First of all I say 'shredded' but really it was so tender it just fell apart on it's own. My oldest daughter and I couldn't stop snacking on it ~ it was amazingly delicious! I've never had luck with my crock pot and had pretty much given up using it for anything other than Mulled Wine BUT I am a believer now!
We got home from swim and I pulled out the beef, toasted the buns and threw the sandwiches together ~ a huge hit and loved by all. {Except for my vegetarian toddler ~ she opted for French Dip minus the roast.}
Next time I will add more seasonings along with some fresh minced garlic and I will not 'shred' it until we are ready to eat it. Even though it was amazing after warming for a while it was even way more amazing after just being pulled apart and it was SUPER easy and SUPER quick so it's not really time consuming like I thought it would be.
Thank you to Melissa's Bargains for sharing such a wonderful and simple recipe! {About time I learned how to use my crock pot!}
