New Recipe to Try This Week…

I borrowed this recipe from “The Adventures of Miss Mommy” and I can’t wait to try it out!!

French Dip Sandwich

Just needs cheese & a little broil.... YUMMY!!!

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

• 4 slices smoky bacon, chopped
• Salt and pepper
• 1 beef brisket, chuck roast, or big piece of meat that is about 3 pounds
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 2-3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 pound mushrooms, quartered or sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 loaf of French bread {UK- white bloomer} , cut into 4-inch sections, split and toasted
• Sliced Swiss cheese, provolone, or white cheddar

In a large skillet over medium heat drizzle with EVOO.  Add the bacon to the pan and cook until just starting to crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Return the skillet to a medium-high heat leaving in the remaining bacon fat.  Season both sides of the beef with salt and pepper and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

While the meat is searing, add the reserved bacon and remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.  Add in the seared meat to the pot and cover.  Set the timer/heat level of the slow cooker depending on the time at which you want your meal to be served, or cook until the meat is tender.

Thinly slice the beef.  To serve, place a layer of sliced beef, cooked veggies, Swiss cheese on top of a slice of the bread and broil until cheese starts to brown.  Serve with a small bowl of juices to dip sandwich.
