Slow Cooker French Dip
Ingredients:

• 4 Pound Rump Roast (I like the sirloin tip roast...when it's on sale!)
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup
• 1 can of beer (I like using Miller Lite)
• 6 French rolls
• 2 Tablespoons of butter

Directions:

1. Trim excess fat from the Rump Roast and place in slow cooker
2. Add the beef broth, onion soup and beer.
3. Cook on Low setting for 7 hours.
4. In last twenty minutes of cooking time, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Split French rolls, and spread with butter. Bake 10 minutes, or until heated through
6. Slice the meat on the diagonal, and place on the rolls. Serve the sauce for dipping.
7. ENJOY!

Using a dark beer really adds depth to the flavor, so I would recommend a darker beer for this.  Also, you may opt to flavor the meat a little bit with some garlic and salt and pepper to taste.  I also have cut up the beef and added it back to the juice and let it sit for an hour so the meat can really soak up the juices. 
This is so delicious!  My youngest one just eats the meat and my two older ones eat it as a sandwich.  I have never had trouble feeding my kids what we eat because we offer no other options...it's heartbreaking, I know, but it's been really successful for us, so keep that in mind if you have picky eaters!  It's so worth it in the end.

I love using the slow cooker because it is so easy!  We got a slow cooker for a wedding gift and it sat unopened until I started to be a stay at home mom.  Now I use it ALL the time.  I love the smell throughout the house.  Every time I walk into the kitchen, my mouth waters!  I recommend making things in the slow cooker first thing in the morning.  If you work, the smell is awesome to come home to!  I have left and came back and can smell the food outside the home!  Did I forget to mention?  I LOVE the slow cooker!
