Let's get cooking! French Dip Sandwiches

This blog started when my knottie girlfriends asked about my dinner plans. Or maybe I was just bragging. But a few asked for my recipe for French Dip Sandwiches and Twice Baked Potatoes. Someone else had eaten my Taco soup, and wanted that recipe. They asked for a cookbook, but I’m not that cool. I’ll give you a blog though! Let’s get started with those original recipes.

French dip is super easy. At least the way I do it!

· ½ pound thick sliced roast beef per person from the deli. [10.00 for 1 pound]
· 1 roll per person [1.99 for 6, or about 70 cents)
· Butter [almost free, you ought to have this!]
· Beef broth (1/2 can per person) [1.49]
· 1 packet onion soup mix per 4 people. [1.00]

Mix the broth and powdered onion soup mix, and place the sliced beef in the mixture. This can even be done the night before. Heat beef & au jus until it’s hot. Meanwhile, slice the rolls and lightly butter them. Toast them under the broiler (or on the BBQ if hubby needs a chore!) until crispy. Place warm meat on rolls and serve with individual cups of warm au jus.

[Total cost is about $14 for two servings. You can use less meat per serving though - this is a lot of food!]
