Lean French Dip

This may seem weird, but before last week, I had never had french dip. Before you judge me... remember that I'm a health freak! French dip always seemed fatty & gross to me. I tend to opt for chicken when eating out.

 BUT... last week, I suddenly got an urge to taste this sought after sandwich.. so I looked up some recipes and came up with my own healthy version of the classic.  I used my beloved crockpot to make the cooking process easy and clean.

After sinking my teeth in, I couldn't believe I have gone 30 years without this! Wow! It was sooo good!

Try it out! Let me know what you think...

CROCKPOT FRENCH DIP
Makes 8 servings
What you need:
2LBS beef roast
1/2 sweet onion
1 can beef broth
1 can condensed french onion soup
Salt, pepper (add any additional seasiongs that you like)

How to:
Trim fat from roast and cut into 4 or 5 large chunks. Slice onion into small strings. Combine all ingredients in the crockpot. Cook on low for 8 hours. When meat is cooked through... dive in! Meat will fall apart when poking with a fork. Put meat on a whole grain roll, bread or baguette. Ladle out some of the broth and use as dip.
