We have made a dozen variations of a french dip and this recipe is probably the easiest and most affordable. If you happen to love all things salty like us, you can substitute the beef consommé for 1 can french onion soup or even put a can of each.

    Definitely a hit!!! The ranch seasoning (I used Hidden Valley) makes this meat absolutely, mouthwateringly delicious. And the crock pot slow cooking it all day just makes it melt in your mouth. I also agree that using a big freshly baked loaf of French bread is the way to go. Hopefully your favorite grocery store bakes loaves fresh daily, otherwise toasted Brioche rolls or even Bolillo rolls work great for this recipe as well. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! Will be adding to the biweekly- or even weekly- rotation! Especially on those cold chilly evenings. One thing I have added, if I happen to have some on hand, is very thinly sliced onion. Just gives a nice flavor, and if sliced thinly enough you can’t even really tell they’re in there but it does add a nice touch to the recipe. 😉

    How many servings? Is there just enough meat for one loaf of bread? Looks good.

      6 servings. Feeds 4. You can do one french bread and cut into portions or individual sandwich rolls as shown in the photos. I think I prefer that big loaf of fresh french bread though.
