French Dip Sandwiches

I promise I will get some recipes on here for dinner that are not made in a crock pot/slow cooker... But honestly some great food comes out of those little contraptions!

This recipe is one of the easiest to make, and liked by everyone. Mr. Whicker loves French Dips now... He wasn't so sure the first time I placed one of these bad boys in front of him; he has since come to see the error of his ways! We made these for a family Super Bowl party last year, we didn't leave with much to take home!

French Dip Sandwiches, Family Favorite Recipes

2-3 lb oven roast

2 cans beef broth (about 4 cups)

2 pkgs Lipton Onion Soup Mix

white Italian sub rolls (We get ours from Subway, they sell a 12" roll for 50 cents!)

provolone cheese slices

Put oven roast in crock pot. Add beef broth and soup mix. Cook on low 7-8 hours. Shred roast with a fork, and return shredded beef to crock pot for a few more minutes. Slice open bread, and place a good amount of beef on one side, top beef with cheese slices. Broil open sandwich in oven for a few minutes, until the cheese gets melted and bubbly. Remove from oven, and serve with a ladle of au-jus left in crock pot.

Chicken Parmesana

This was a favorite recipe we had in our house growing up. It is so good, even the picky eaters will gobble it up. Being a slow cooker recipe, it also has fix it and forget it appeal. I hope you give it a try. Served over spaghetti with a large green salad, who needs the Olive Garden?! 5 stars!

Fiesta Beef Fajitas

Who doesn't love a delicious, and easy slow cooker recipe? Honestly, this one is as simple as it gets, and rarely leaves much for leftovers!

My mom first made this amazing shredded beef for dinner while my grandparents were here in Utah for a visit. It was amazing! So tender, so flavorful, and completely simple! It was a unanimous keeper! We had it on tortillas, served in the traditional fajita style, but it would also be fantastic over lettuce for a taco salad.

14-1/2 oz. can tomatoes with chilies (Ro-Tel)
2 1/4 oz. pkgs. fajita seasoning mix
1 onion, sliced

8 to 12 10 inch flour tortillas, warmed
Garnish- guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, shredded lettuce

Cover and cook on high setting for 4 hours; reduce to low and cook for an additional 2 hours. Add onion and green pepper; cover and continue to cook on low setting for an additional hour. Shred meat serve on warm tortilla with garnishes.
