Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Seasoning
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 package onion soup mix (about 1 ounce)
Bread and Cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 8 slices of cheese (such as Swiss or provolone)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ground Beef: Place the ground beef into the slow cooker. Break it apart slightly to ensure even cooking.
- Add Seasoning: Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the ground beef. Stir gently to combine the seasoning with the meat without breaking it up too much.
- Slow Cook the Beef: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the beef is fully cooked and flavorful. Stir once or twice during cooking for even seasoning distribution.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise. Use a slotted spoon to scoop the flavorful ground beef onto the rolls.
- Add Cheese: Top the beef with slices of cheese. Optionally, you can briefly place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler or in a hot oven just until the cheese melts.
- Serve: Serve the sandwiches warm. Optionally, provide a small bowl with beef cooking juices for dipping to enhance the French dip experience.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can toast the hoagie rolls before assembling the sandwiches.
- Swiss or provolone cheese pairs best with the savory onion beef mixture.
- Leftover beef can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated for quick meals.
- If desired, add sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions for additional toppings.
