These slow cooker french dip sandwiches are one of my family's favorites, and I'm so happy to be able to share this recipe with you. The roast comes out so melt in your mouth tender and super juicy, with a slightly crispy roll, ooey-gooey cheese. I guarantee this will be devoured fast!
Only takes a few ingredients and you can set it and forget it until its time to chow. You may be surprised by the addition of the coke, but the sugars in it caramelize and add just a hint of sweetness. So if you're looking for a quick and easy dinner to make that you're family will love, this is the recipe.
What's the best cheese for French Dip Sandwiches?
I like to use mild cheese for these sandwiches. Provolone is always my first choice. Mozzarella or Monterey Jack would be close seconds for me.
What is au jus?
Au Jus simple means "with juice". Served with a juice obtained from roasting, which is served on the side of food for dipping.

So happy you loved it LaTonia, thanks for the great review 🙂
Omg, this sandwich was the bomb! I did two things differently: I used Colby Jack Cheese and added mushrooms. My husband loved this recipe. I am always trying out new recipes to spice up dinner and to eat something different. He really liked this sandwich. I dipped mine in the juices like the recipe says, but for his first sandwich he had to dip his bread in the juices like an Italian Beef sandwich. That was good too! There are so many options. Thank you for this recipe. I will be fixing it again.
Yay Leslie, so happy you loved it, and thank you for your kind words and great review 🙂
This was SO good!! I brushed the rolls with a thin layer of melted butter before putting them under the broiler. Your recipes never disappoint!! Thank you again!
Beer or additional beef stock would work.
Would love to try this recipe. No one in my family drinks soda. Is there any substitution for the coke?
I'm making this today.Looks amazing.Love a good & easy slow cooker meal.I will post later with my results.Thank you!
Awww Thank you Kathy! That totally made my Sunday 🙂
Love love your recipes. Most every one of them! ❤️
Yay Sharon! I'm so glad you loved it 🙂
I tried this recipe and thought it was really good. I'm not crazy about chuck roast but in this recipe, in a sandwich, it was really good! This is one heavy sandwich and my husband and I split one. The dipping au jus was tasty. I did add a package of frozen little onions and I put the meat in the refrigerator overnight in order to be able to scrape the fat off, making the dipping jus less greasy and more flavorful. I would definitely try this one. I might add sliced mushrooms next time just for fun and texture--maybe put them in during the last 1/2 hour of the cooking.
I have never made this in an instant pot before, so I can't say for sure. But I would imagine it would turn out fine 🙂
Do you know how this would work in an instant pot?
Omg Jane I am so glad you loved them. Thank you for coming back here to tell me! Happy Holidays 🙂
These are seriously the best french dips ever. Thank you so much for the lovely recipe!
Oh I am so glad you loved them Tim! They are my kids absolute favorite 🙂
These sandwiches turned out fantastic! Getting a good sear all around the outside was key to success as it not only added a nice crispy tasty carmelization to the roast but I feel helped "hold" the roast together over long cooking time in the crockpot. I often have to start my crock when I leave for work in the morning and so meals cook on low for 8 hrs before switching to warm-the lowest & shortest option on my crockpot. Too often this causes roasts to be "fall apart" good but doesn't lend well to slicing. Happy to say I didn't have this problem. So tasty I ate on the leftovers for lunch the next couple of days. Outstanding!
