Roast Beef French Dips - Slow Cooker Style

If you're like the Pug Hollow Humans, the holidays are busy times, and you don't always feel like cooking a big meal. So we've come up with some recipes for an easy bite, and one of our favorites is our slow cooker French dips.  They're SO tasty, cheaper than buying deli roast beef, and the liquid makes a fantastic dipping sauce without the hassle of making au jus from a mix.
This recipe is based around a small beef roast, of about 1.3 pounds. For larger roasts, add more soup.

Ingredients:
1 beef roast
Sliced cheese - your choice of type. We like Havarti, sharp cheddar or mozzarella
Wheat hoagie rolls
2 cans of beef consomme
1 can of Beefy Mushroom soup

Combine beef roast, and the soups in a crock pot. The goal is to completely cover the roast with the liquid, so add more soup if needed. We like to add a beefy mushroom soup for every two cans of consomme we use.

 Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. You want the roast fork tender and easily shreddable, but you don't want to cook too much of the liquid down.
Remove the roast and shred it, reserve the liquid

Split and toast the hoagie rolls. Add cheese and toast just enough to melt. Fill the sandwich with shredded beef roast. Place some of the reserved liquid into a bowl to use as au jus for dipping.

Enjoy!
