French dips

An improved version for French dips. Even though it's a little bit better for you, it's still full of flavor, complete with extra sauce for dipping

What are you doing in about 8 hours?

Not sure... are you going to be eating dinner? wishing dinner was already cooked?

Well, what you should be doing is eating these French dips.

So run to the grocery store, pick up some chuck roast, onions, and any other ingredient you don't already have; throw it all in the slow cooker; and get ready for a delicious meal that any self-respecting human being will love {unless they're vegetarian/vegan, of course}.

I made these last weekend. They were intended to be our lunch on Saturday. They ended up not being ready until after the game on Saturday night. Oops.

Luckily, we ate them as a late lunch on Sunday and then some of us had the leftovers for lunch on Monday.

Y'all...these are so good.

I saw them on another blog, Prevention RD, last September and have been thinking about them ever since.

I can't believe I waited so long to try them!

These would be great for dinner, a weekend lunch, or for a football party. It's definitely a meal boys enjoy!

And while it's not health food per se, it's definitely an improvement on almost every other French dip recipe I've ever found!
