So yummy, put in the crockpot before work and it's ready when you get home! It's one of my husband's favorites. We add provolone cheese and A1 to our sandwiches! Yum! Definately will make many more times.

WOW, very good with very little effort. The Au Jus was a little too "onion'y" for my husband but everyone else thought it was great. Served it on a french roll (no cheese). Will do this one again.

This is tasty!! I used a chuck roast instead of the brisket (beef briskets, for whatever reason, aren't always easy to find) and just "pulled" the beef instead of slicing it. We like to top each sandwich with a slice of provolone and serve it on smaller soft rolls.
