There is a big bowl game this Sunday. It’s got me thinking about what to have to eat. I will be having a small party with my husband, my daughter, me, my boys and their spouses. These quick french dip sandwiches are a great option.

They come together really quickly. I love that these can be ready to eat in about 10 minutes! And it even includes an au jus for dipping. No need cook a separate packet.

I used Swiss cheese on these sandwiches, but feel free to use what kind you like, Provolone, havarti, mozzarella, or Monterey jack would also be delicious.

I think toaasting the bread is key to any French dip sandwich. The bread needs some more structure to it so it deosn’t become completely oggy when you dip it in the au jus.

Thinly sliced roast beef from the deli is what makes it possible to put these quick French dip sandwiches together so fast. I personally like to use the roast beef from the deli meat multi pack from Costco.

We do use a shallot here too. If you haven’t used a shallot before. It’s in the produce section by the garlic. It’s kind of like a cross between garlic and an onion.
