This is my mother’s recipe, it is an easy and fast week-night meal.
French Dip Sandwiches
Serves 2 to 4, prep: 5 min, cook: 10 min- 1/2-1 lb high quality deli roast beef, thinly sliced
- 1 can beef consomme
- 1 can concentrated french onion soup
- sliced provolone
- hoagie rolls
- butter and garlic bread sprinkle
- Combine soups in a pot on the stove top and heat.
- Add roast beef, breaking up the slices, simmer. I usually use about 1/2 lb for 3 sandwiches.
- Slice hoagies and toast lightly under broiler. Keep an eye on them! I usually go through an entire bag of hoagies for a 2 person dinner because I set the first batch on fire.
- Butter toasted buns and sprinkle with garlic powder or garlic bread sprinkle or get fancy and rub with a slice of fresh garlic.
- Spread mayo or prepared horseradish or whatever you like on one side of bread. Using tongs so the liquid will drain back into pot, pile meat onto bread.
- Cover with sliced provolone and return sandwiches to broiler. You’re just warming them until the cheese melts! It will only take a minute!
- Put the tops on and slice on the horizontal (that makes them fancy). Serve au jus from the pot on the side.
For my kids, I usually make hot ham and cheese melts cause they don’t eat. I would rather them not eat the cheap deli ham than the expensive filet of roast beef.
