French dip and Au Jus

If you like French Dip sandwiches, you'll love this. You'll also love the fact that you can make it in about 5 minutes-that's less time than it would take you to drive to the nearest Arby's. This recipe is super great for those nights when I have to be somewhere, and I need to feed the family fast. Here's the ingredients. Yep, it's only 4. Love that! You'll need some deli/hoagie rolls, swiss cheese, french onion soup, and thinly sliced roast beef (I believe that's an 8 or 9 oz. pkg there):



Put the all the roast beef in a microwave safe dish, dump the can of french onion soup in, and add half a can of water. Stir a bit to mix up the juice. Cover and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes. While that's cooking, slice open your rolls and butter the bottom half. On the top half, put sliced swiss. If you don't like swiss (like my daughter) just don't use any-no biggie. Then broil your rolls until golden brown, and the cheese is melted. Like so:



See, the middle bun doesn't have any cheese-that's for Kaylee. Once the roast beef is done, use a slotted spoon to scoop some up, then take another spoon and press it onto the beef, as to remove as much juice from it as possible-otherwise your bun will get soggy fast. Put the beef on the bun, dump a little of the remaining juice in a small cup and your done! You got yourself a french dip sandwich, complete with Au Jus sauce. Just as good as Arby's. This will make about 5 sandwiches.


I added some potatoe chips, just to be fancy-you gotta' have your veggies right?

I will definitely vouch that this is a great (and really simple)recipe!!! Dad and Stephen both LOVE it, and whenever Stephen comes home from college he always asks if we will be having French Dip while he is there. YUMMY!
