This was good, but I found it didn't have all the robust flavor I was looking for. It could be because I used a pork roast instead. It was good, but not brag worthy.

I just made this today and received kudos all around. A definite keeper. I substituted sliced provolone for the shredded swiss.

This was super tasty! Although I put two packets of onion soup mix in instead of one, I would suggest doing that if you like it a little more flavorful! But excellent, quick and easy meal! I have 4 young boys so I am always in need of something quick and easy!

Everyone loved it. I'm not a big meat eater, but I thought it was great! I cooked it in the crockpot over night, then the meat sat in the frig until we came home from work. Very easy to slice. One daughter decided to have pepper jack cheese on it, instead of swiss.

Whole family, teenagers down to toddlers, loved it. My 3 year old kept thanking me for the "yummy hot dip" and would ask for more to drink after she'd dipped her sandwich. I used provolone on ours instead of swiss. Also, I had my butcher slice the roast very thin then froze it. When ready to use just let it thaw the night before and pour over the top of the onions. This cuts the prep time to about 5 min. for sauteeing the onions. Delicious.

I make this at least once a month for our family. My only change is that I add worechester sauce(3 TBSP) and use provolone cheese. Toasting the buns helps with the juiciness!~
