• Add the chuck roast to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on both sides until a brown crust forms.
• Remove the chuck roast from the skillet and place it into the basin of your slow cooker. Pour in the french onion soup along with 1 cup of water. Add the rosemary and bay leaf and then cover the crock pot and turn on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. This will depend in the size of your roast, a larger chuck roast will take a little longer to become tender.

• Serve the sandwiches with the au jus from the slow cooker on the side for dipping.

EASY SLOW COOKER FRENCH DIP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, or in your slow cooker, add your cold water and gravy packets and whisk it together so there are no lumps. Pour the sauce into your slow cooker if you did not mix in your slow cooker.**Ignore the packet instructions for adding water!!! Follow this recipe! There will be extra sauce/liquid after cooking, you can use this extra au jus for dipping!
• Add your roast beef to the slow cooker. Separate each slice of roast beef as you add it to the slow cooker so it will cook and heat evenly.**If you have a smaller slow cooker, it will look super full of meat. After adding all of the roast beef, press the meat in to the gravy mixture so it is mostly covered. The meat shrinks a bit and settles in the sauce as it cooks!
• Add your sliced onion to the meat and gravy/sauce if you are adding onions. If adding peppers add them as well.**If you are adding mushrooms, wait and add them to the slow cooker the last 5 minutes of cooking time.
• The meat just needs heated through and given time to soak up the savory flavor of the gravy and au jus. Cook the roast beef on low for 4-6 hours. (Mine never needs 6 hours and is always done after 4 hours or less). Or on high for 2-3 hours. Using tongs, gently stir the meat half way through cooking if you can. (Not super important but if you can, do it!)
• When you are ready to eat, set your oven to BROIL at 450°. Slice your rolls in half. Spread some butter on each half of the roll and top with your cheese ( I always use at least 2 slices). Let the rolls broil for a few minutes until the cheese is melted to your liking. Watch them closely so they don't burn!**This is optional. You do not have to broil your buns in the oven to melt the cheese! You can just slice your buns, add the cheese and top it with the roast beef!
• Once the cheese is melted, add the meat and onions (optional) to each sandwich. Get a small dish of the au jus sauce for dipping if desired!
• This French Dip can be stored in an airtight container in your fridge for about 3 days and can be reheated in your microwave!
