Easy Crockpot French Dip

I never thought I would be the one cooking.  While Robert and I dated he always cooked and I loved it. 
But, being married it's different.  I feel like it's my duty to have meals planned and cooked. The weekends I usually let him do the work, though. We like to grill on the weekends and I don't even know how to turn on the grill. Haha.
Anyway, I wanted to share this super easy French Dip Recipe.
4lbs Chuck Roast or Rump Roast-Chuck roast will shred rather than slice
1 can of beef broth
1 can of condensed french onion soup
1 can/bottle of beer of your choice-We had Miller Lite on hand
Salt/Pepper
French bread/Hoagie sandwhich bread
Provolone Cheese or cheese of your choice

I put a moderate amount of salt/pepper on the chuck roast
Put the chuck roast, beef broth, french onion soup, and beer in the crockpot and let it cook for 7 hours.
After the 7hrs, slice the beef in diagonal pieces.  We had chuck roast and slicing became shredding. Still taste the same.

We used Hoagie sandwhich bread since I couldn't find french bread.  Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Butter the bread and when oven is ready place on a cookie sheet.  Let bread get warm-a little brown-a little toasty.

When bread is done-you may want to drain some of the meat before putting on your sandwhich.  Too much juice may make your sandwhich soggy.

Time to make your sandwhich! Don't forget to put cheese on it! And, use the juice as your au jus dip. It's really yummy!  Here a some pictures.
