French dips are a classic. However, the ingredients used to make them can differentiate this classic sandwich like with these cheddar french dip sandwiches.

This makes a great lunch or speedy dinner. Feel free to use leftover roast instead of deli meat if you have some hanging out in the fridge. Either way these sandwiches are delish!

How to Make Cheddar French Dip Sandwiches

This recipe starts with ciabatta rolls. Ciabatta rolls are good for juicy fillings because they don’t get soggy easily. They stay together well, even when dipped in au jus.

Prepare the au jus according to the instructions on the package. Then add in the beef to warm it through.

Now, brush the rolls with melted butter and garlic. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Then toasts the rolls in the oven on broil.

Toasted rolls are essential in my book when it come to a french dip. This also helps the bread to hold up when dipping it in the au jus.

Add the beef to the rolls and serve with a small bowl of the au jus on the side. I love the flavor that the cheddar adds to the sandwich.
