Here's the second recipe in the 25 Days of Slow Cooking series here on PPP, and I promise you'll love these Slow Cooked French Dip Sandwiches. They're one of those simple recipes that you can just pop in Mrs. Potts in the morning, and then come home to a delicious home cooked meal at the end of the day. Enjoy it either on traditional hamburger buns or slider sandwiches ~ either way you're in for a simple meal that will help you pinch those pennies while you skip the drive thru this week.

I tried one incredible one tonight I got from a friend who found it on Pinterest. It was so easy and so GOOD!
Oven roast
5-6 pepperonici peppers
1 packet dry ranch dressing mix
1 packet Au Jus mix
1 stick of butter
Place all ingredients in slow cooker; cook on low 7-8 hours.
I make a very similar recipe to that one and also LOVE it Melissa – thanks so much for sharing! (I may try adding the dressing mix to ours next time….) https://passionatepennypincher.com/2012/01/whats-for-dinner-best-ever-slow-cooked-italian-beef/
What’s funny is that I think I’ve made yours before and it was recieved with rave reviews from my family! When my friend gave me this recipe, I remember thinking it was very similar to one I had made a few months ago (with just the peppers and Au Jus mix if memory serves). Thank you so much for all that you do especially posting so many wonderful recipes. I have made MANY of them and they never disappoint!
How funny Melissa! Either way sounds delicious… and so glad you like the recipes! 🙂
Easy chicken recipes. 3-4 chicken breast (frozen or thawed) I large bottle of Pace picante. Cook on low for 5-7 hrs. Another easy chicken recipe is same as above but lemon juice and rosemary simple and delicious!!
That sounds delicious Joy – I’ve got to try them! 🙂
