October is finally here which means Fall is (hopefully) in the air, life is getting busy, and everyone is getting ready to bust out their slow cookers for the cooler weather. Stephanie from Sustaining the Powers celebrates “Crocktober” with an entire month of slow cooker recipes, so we’re joining together to help her kick it off .

So I thought this French Dip recipe would be a great crockpot dish to start the “Crocktober” celebration!

Believe it or not, this recipe was given to me by my girlfriend Kathy back in 2001. Every holiday season we would have a potluck lunch at work where everyone brought something in and this was her special dish. It got rave reviews from everyone and I knew I just had to have the recipe. And it still gets rave reviews to this day from family & friends. And it’s so easy!

In fact, most crockpot recipes are easy and they can help you get a tasty dinner on the table without a lot of fuss during the upcoming busy holiday season. Here are a few delicious options for that new crockpot!

Now onto our incredible French Dip recipe. Hope you enjoy!
