Yummy Recipe Wednesday! (Slow Cooker French Dip)

Happy Wednesday friends and food lovers. Welcome to another Yummy Recipe Wednesday! Growing up my grandmother used to take me to a little restaurant called The Black Kettle where I first tried, and fell in love with, French Dip. Since then I’ve tried plenty of good French Dips at other restaurants but none of them were quite as good as what I used to get at The Black Kettle. Well today I bring you a recipe for a delicious and simple Slow Cooker French Dip that I believe is as close as I could possibly get to what I remember from my childhood. If you’ve never had French Dip but have wanted to try it then I highly recommend you give this recipe a try. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Feel free to leave comments below with your thoughts and ideas and be sure to check back Friday for another Gluten Free Friday recipe.

2. Add the beef consomme, onion soup, beer, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic to the slow cooker.
