The easiest (and most delicious!) way to make french dip sandwiches in your slow cooker!

Ingredients

• 2-3 pound roast (either beef or pork- we use whatever is on sale that week!)
• 2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) beef consomme (I can always find this mixed in with the soups)
• 6-8 buns (we love hoagie buns, but any kind will work)

Preparation

Step 1

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
Place roast in greased slow-cooker. Pour consomme over the top of the roast.
Cook on low 8-11 hours or on high for 5-7 hours. Remove roast and save extra juice for dipping! With 2 forks, shred roast (when it is done, it should pull apart easily . . . almost fall apart).
Serve meat on buns and use extra juice to dip sandwiches in.

Notes
To make this a quick and easy freezer meal, place roast in a resealable gallon-sized freezer bag and pour beef consomme on top.
When ready to eat, remove from freezer and thaw in fridge for 24 hours. Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and place contents of bag inside slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 8-11 hours (or HIGH for 5-7 hours). Remove roast from slow cooker and save extra juice for dipping! With 2 forks, shred roast and serve meat on buns.
