Recipe: French Dip Sandwiches

This is a great Sunday meal: quick to prepare, easy, and tasty...all thanks to a crock pot! Just throw it all in in the morning and it's ready for the late afternoon or evening. Note: The recipe says to cook for 10-12 hours, but we have gone as few as 6 hours and it's still great.

French Dip Sandwiches
Serves 10

INGREDIENTS

• 1 (4 pound) boneless beef roast
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 beef bouillon cube
• 1 bay leaf
• 3 whole black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 20 slices French bread

DIRECTIONS
Remove and discard all visible fat from the roast. Place trimmed roast in a slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, bouillon, bay leaf, peppercorns, rosemary, thyme, and garlic powder. Pour mixture over roast, and add enough water to almost cover roast. Cover, and cook on Low heat for 10 to 12 hours, or until meat is very tender.
Remove meat from broth, reserving broth. Shred meat with a fork, and distribute on bread for sandwiches. Used reserved broth for dipping.
