French Dip Sandwiches (Slowcooker)

We seem not to eat enough sandwiches for dinner around this house as often as we should. One of my favorite (and super easy) sandwich recipes involves a crock pot, beef and using the juices for a dipping sauce when it's time to chow down.

4 pound Roast
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Thyme
1 teaspoon Rosemary
1 Bay Leaf
1/3 cup Soy Sauce
Beef Broth
1/2 cup Water
1 Beef Bullion Cube
Sandwich rolls
Mozzarella cheese


Place roast in slow cooker. Sprinkle with pepper, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and soy sauce. Add beef broth until the roast is just covered in liquid, then add water and bullion cube. Cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours (until meat is cooked through). Once cooked, shred the meat and serve on sandwich rolls with cheese. Use the left over drippings for dipping.

Poppy Seed Ham and Cheese Rolls

Every Christmas Eve my family has these little sandwiches (though we refer to them as 'Party Tea Rolls'). They are super easy and really tasty. Very nice potluck recipe!

I made them this year for the Christmas Party my son's horseback riding farm was having. They are always so good! Sorry for the quick photos.. I was in a hurry to get there on time!

2 packages Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

Sliced Sandwich Ham

American Cheese

1/2 cup Butter or Margarine 

1 1/2- 2 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds

1/2 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow Mustard

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice rolls for sandwiches, then layer ham and cheese; place top of rolls on top. Melt butter and stir in poppy seeds, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Pour mixture evenly over the top of the rolls. Let sit for 10 minutes before baking. Cover with foil and bake for 12 minutes (or until cheese has melt) then uncover and bake another 2-3 minutes until light golden brown.
