Our family thought this just tasted like pot roast on bread, because really that's all it was. We could have done without the tomato paste in the juice, it didn't seem to add anything in particular to the recipe. It didn't taste bad and it was easy, but we will keep looking for a better French Dip recipe.

Beware browning in your crock pot stoneware if you aren't sure it can take direct heat from the stove. I thought mine could and learned the hard way. Fortunately, I was able to replace my crock pot at the store, so no harm no foul.

The au jus is very tasty, yet, if you don't like a little heat in your food then forgo the Thai hot sauce. I like heat, so I didn't mind.

One of the reasons I am giving this 4 stars is I think the cooking time for the meat is wrong. You should definitely go for low and slow. If you are unfamiliar with crock pot cooking, you may want to look up recommended cooking times. Another thing, I strained my au jus so it was free of the onions, garlic and bay leaf. Though, if you like onions, you may want to keep them in, or scoop them on later.

I tried my sandwich with the Boursin spread. It was okay. Yet, I preferred mine with swiss or provolone.

OMG. This is amazing. So easy and delicious, the leftovers are just as good. This is a new staple in my home. First Aaron recipe that I've made and I'm so impressed. I used slices of herbed Fontina as the cheese and got par-baked french bread BUT, this recipe is fail-proof! Great job Aaron!

I made this recipe tonight and my guests were very impressed, however, I believe it could be better. I cooked everything on low for 4 hours and it was nowhere near ready. We cooked it for another 2 hours on high and it was close. It was still not the tender-melt-in-your-mouth meat I was hoping for, but maybe it was because of the cut of meat I purchased. Regardless it was good (even gold star material according to friend but I would hope for a little more of a kick.

Oh my goodness! Amazing!!! The meat is tender and flavorful all by itself. Just a note, I always hated recipes that used just a small amount of something like tomato paste because I don't like to waste the rest of the can, but I found in our local grocery store, a tube of tomato paste! It's much easier when you need a small amount, plus, it's better quality than some of the cans out there! Just keep it in the refrigerator until you need it! Handy dandy:

This recipe is delicious! I actually cooked my meat on low for 10 hours while at work (after searing it in the pot. Who knew you can sear the meat in same pot? Love it! Anyhow, the meat melted in our mouths and went so well with the cheese and onions. It was amazing! =
