Pot Roast Sandwiches
My boyfriend and I hit up a local bar/restaurant that has "Pot Roast Slammers." Seeing as he likes those and also French Dip sandwiches I sort of combined the two ideas into one serious fat-kid-sandwich. The recipe is behind the cut!
1-2 2lb pot roasts (depends on how much you want and how much fits in your crock, the rest is standard whether or not you use 1 or 2. Just bear with me :) )
1 can condensed french onion soup
1 can condensed beef broth
12 oz beer (I like Newcastle! Heineken has also worked nicely.)
1.) Trim off excess fatty bits. Some is ok, but I've gotten some rather fatty ones before.
2.) Put meat in crock.
3.) Put liquids over meat.
4.) Cook on low for 8 hours. (If you useed only 1 pot roast, you'll have more au jus than you'd need for the sandwiches. Pour some off and freeze it. Use it next time you make pot roast sandwiches, or heat it up for regular sandwiches or make it into a gravy. Whatever you like!)
To Serve: Heat oven to 400F. Slice some sub rolls in half lenghtwise. Lightly butter. Sprinkle garlic powder on all open faces. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on bottoms of rolls. Put in oven for 5 mins. Take out, put your favorite sliced cheese on the tops of the sub rolls. Put in oven for 5 mins. Take out, put meat on sandwiches, close and cut in half. Serve with sides of the au jus left in the crock for dipping!!
