    How do you make French dip sliders in a crock pot.

  • Build your sliders on a small cutting board or sheet tray.

  • Pick up the cutting board and gently slide the sliders as one large loaf off the cutting board and into a crock pot.

  • Cover and cook on high for 1.5 to 2 hours.

  • Once cooked, if desired, place your rolls on the lower rack in your oven with your broiler on high for 30-60 seconds to crisp up the tops. (Do not walk away. You can go from perfection to burnt very quickly in a broiler.)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the Au Jus gravy mix with the Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp Better Than Bouillon, and 1 1/4 cups water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. If you'd like a thicker sauce, simmer it longer, and it will reduce.

  2. Place the top rolls back on and spread the tops with butter.
  3. Place the sliders into your oven at 350Β°F for 15 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top of the buns is nice and toasted.
  4. Cut into individual sliders and serve with extra warmed Au Jus for dipping.
Crock Pot Version
  1. Build your sliders on a small cutting board or sheet tray.
  2. Pick up the cutting board and gently slide the sliders as one large loaf off the cutting board and into a crock pot.
  3. Placing a paper towel under your crockpot lid can help absorb excess moisture and prevent it from dripping back down into sammies. The paper towel absorbs condensation on the lid and holds it there until it evaporates.
  4. Cover and cook on high for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  5. Once cooked, if desired, place your rolls on the lower rack in your oven with your broiler on high for 30-60 seconds to crisp up the tops. (Do not walk away. You can go from perfection to burnt very quickly in a broiler.)
