When’s the last time you had a good French dip sandwich?  For me, it’s been years.   The signature of this sandwich is that  crunchy bread made soggy after being dipped into flavorful broth.  As a kid, I never really liked the soggy-factor.  After making it myself, I see now the flavor it adds and it’s not to be missed.

This is the first time I’ve had a French dip with homemade au jus.  Before, it’s always been the typical deli counter roast beef and canned au jus.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but oftentimes the canned version is a little salty for my taste.

I don’t believe horseradish is a typical condiment on French dips, but it made the sandwich a little more interesting and a little zing.

It’s great to be able to throw this into the slow cooker before work, arrive home and have dinner (and lunch for the next few days) waiting for you.
