Easy French Dip Sandwiches


Craig looooves French Dip when we go out to eat, so I thought I'd try some at home. I got the recipe off of allrecipes.com and it was very quick and tasty!

INGREDIENTS:

1 (10.5 oz) can beef consomme

1 cup water

1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef

8 slices provolone cheese

4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise


DIRECTIONS:

-Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Open the hoagie rolls and lay out on a baking sheet.

-Heat beef consomme and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat to make a rich beef broth. Place the roast beef in the broth and warm for 3 minutes. Arrange the meat on the hoagie rolls and top each roll with 2 slices of provolone.

-Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese just begins to melt. Serve the sandwiches with small bowls of the warm broth for dipping.


COMMENTS:

-I wasn't able to find any "beef consomme" at the store, so we just bought regular beef broth and heated it up...no water added. I did see a suggestion online to try to add rosemary to the beef broth, but we didn't try it. Might be a good add though!

-These came out really good, and were very fast to make. We'll be adding it to our 30-minute meal playlist. :)
