Crock Pot French Dip Sandwiches - Clean Eating Style

So have you gotten a French Dip Sandwich at a restaurant in the past and thought, my oh my, this is yummy, but now you are trying to eat better and make better choices?

Well, do I have a recipe for you.  This recipe is an A+++++ on my recipe collection list for sooooo many reasons.

#1 - It is a crock pot recipe!  Put everything in, turn it on and forget about it.
#2 - It feeds a crowd!
#3 - The ingredients are somewhat few but easy!
#4 - My husband and kids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recipe!

So without further ado...here you go:

Crock Pot French Dip Sandwiches

INGREDIENTS:

4lbs. Pot Roast
32oz. Low Sodium Beef Broth
7 Cloves of Garlic Peeled OR Garlic Powder to your liking
1 Onion - Quartered
1 tbsp. Italian Seasoning
1 tbsp. Ground Mustard
1 tbsp. Black Pepper
Whole Wheat Tortilla Wraps/Pitas/Rolls (whatever you prefer, but the wraps and pitas are a better clean eating choice than rolls).
Provolone OR Swiss Cheese (optional) - see below

DIRECTIONS:

- Place the pot roast in the crock pot.
- Add the broth, onion, garlic and seasonings.
- Turn on to low for 7-9 hours.
- After 7-9 hours, take the roast out and place on a cutting board with sides or on a large platter & shred the beef with 2 forks.
- Strain the broth so there are no large chunks.
- Top rolls/wraps/pitas with beef and serve the broth on the side for an au jus dipping sauce.

ENJOY!!!!

**Serve alongside a salad and some sweet potato fries and you have a great meal!  Not to mention likely tons of leftovers for the week.

**Use organic when/if possible for an even healthier meal.

**Could also saute up some onions/peppers in olive oil to top the sandwiches with as well.  And you could top your sandwich with a piece of provolone or swiss cheese if you have some you are serving that prefer their beef sandwiches that way.
