Easy Crock Pot French Dip Recipe

I know how hard it is to work 40 hours a week, take care of a small child (and a husband) and try to make yummy dinners every night that consist of more then a grilled cheese. So I thought I'd share a great and super easy recipe. I can't take credit for this one, however, as my Mom told me about it.

Things you need:
1 crockpot
2 packets au ju sauce mix
1 roast (any kind works event the cheap ones)
1 medium onion
pack of hogie buns

Put the au ju into the crock pot and make as directed. I add an additional cup or two of water. Slice up the onion and put that into the au ju. Place the roast into the juice and cook on low all day or on high for like four hours. The meat literally flakes apart and is perfect for placing on the rolls. Use the au ju for dip and whalla - easy French dips. I usually make everything up the night before and stick the crock pot into the fridge so I can just pull it out and turn it on in the morning! Goes great with tater tots, fries or a vegie side.

Awesome - thanks for the idea! I just bought a new crockpot so I'm excited to use it for new recipes. :)
