For a sandwich with more pizzazz than the traditional French dip, give this recipe a try. The seasonings give the broth a wonderful flavor, and the meat cooks up tender and juicy. This new version will soon be a favorite at your house, too. -Margaret McNeil, Memphis, Tennessee

Amazing!! Made this a few weeks ago and my family loved it. Had a little leftover and it was great the next day too. Making this in a few weeks (double recipe) for son's bday party dinner. I know it will get tons of rave reviews then.

Best French dip recipe I've ever tasted. Cooking in the crock pot is so convenient and worry-free! Also, using boneless chuck makes for just about the tenderest meat ever -however, check doneness after about 2 1/2 - 3 hours every half hour by sticking a fork into the meat. When the fork goes in easily practically all the way, it's done. If you overcook it, it looses all its tenderness. With fresh-baked rolls - to die for!

Second time I've cooked this within 3 weeks! This time I doubled the recipe, because the daughter's boyfriend raved about it so much

GREAT recipe! The spices leave the meat perfectly flavored and delicious. I made this for a crowd, and everyone went back for seconds and then asked for the recipe! I will definitely make this again.

I made this for my Mom's birthday party and everyone loved it. My roast was fully cooked in about 3 hours on high heat though. I also had bought several types of rolls for all of my guests. I served this sandwich with the baked french fries which I also found on this website. Looking forward to making these sandwiches again!
