Super Easy French Dips

This is so easy and so so yummy. I love it because it works great when we have company. You can do it for lunch or dinner. I usually have all this stuff in the cupboard and the freezer ready to go for those nights I just want something easy and fast.

1 package French Rolls

1 bottle Johnny's French Dip Sauce

Roast Beef from your local Deli

1 onion

Fresh Sliced Mushrooms

package Swiss Cheese

Make the Au Jus according to package add Roast Beef until the meat is hot. Saute Mushrooms and onion in a bit of olive oil (i add a little sugar as well) until brown and delicious. Pile meat, onions and mushrooms on hot broiled rolls. Top with slice of cheese and voila. Pure yumminess. The OP loves this - minus the onions and mushrooms of course! Be sure to serve with the au jus!

Whip up some coleslaw or tater tots or both and voila - you've got a meal.

Enjoy!

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

1 pound ground beef, lean

1 pound Sweet Basil Italian Sausage, casings removed and crumbled

2 cups grated carrot

1 medium onion, finely chopped

5 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 Tbsp. Parsley

1 Tbsp. dried Oregano

2 Tbsp. brown sugar

Olive Oil

salt & pepper

Garlic powder

2 28 ounce cans concentrated crushed tomatoes

1 23 ounce can tomato sauce

Cook hamburger with some garlic powder. Drain and set aside . Cook Italian sausage until almost done and add grated carrot. Cook the rest of the way. Transfer both meats to crock pot. In saucepan, saute onion in a little olive oil. Add garlic, parsley, oregano, salt & pepper until onions are soft. Transfer to crock pot. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and brown sugar and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

***This feeds a lot of people or gives lots of left over sauce to freeze. For picky eaters or young children I put some sauce in a food processor and puree. To make it a little thicker (if you like thick sauce) puree half and add back to sauce.
