Made this for supper tonight and it was a hit with the whole family, even my two-year old. A fast and easy dish for me to throw together, especially with a newborn to keep happy. Thanks for sharing with us, Kristen!

Could you do this with a crock pot instead of a dutch oven? I’m not even quite sure I know what the difference is between the two.

Loved this – made it the other night but since there’s only 2 of us, I had so much leftovers that I turned it into a fabulous French onion soup!!!

Thanks for the recipe!

OK…I made these for my husband, following your recipe to the letter, and when he tasted them he said “Woe, these are so good they are dangerous!” HA! Thank you for a new family favorite in our house

Kristen, thanks again for all your help! These turned out great and my family loved them. I made the beef in the crock pot and used 3 cups of water instead of 5 and it was perfect. Made the bread too and these were very yummy.

Do I still add the 5 cups water if I am making it in the crock pot? If you could answer ASAP I would appreciate it as I am going to make it today! Thanks

Mine is actually a Tramontina brand, and I got it on Walmart’s website for $60. Cook’s Illustrated recommended it as a best buy alternative to Le Crueset, and it was only available at Walmart. I’m pretty happy with it, and since the bottom is SO thick, it’s great for heating up milk when I make yogurt.

Kristen, I noticed that your dutch oven looks a lot like a Le Crueset. Is it? How did you get that frugally? Inquiring minds want to know!

I made these French Dips with your french bread recipe and my entire family just loved them. My 2 year old just ate the cheese bread dipped in the au jus and refered to this meal as “Dips” while we were eating it. Excellant recipe both for the beef and bread. Both of these recipe’s are now officially in my keeper binder.

Thanks
Kristin

Yes, the yeasty pumpkin bread is not NEARLY as sweet at the quick bread version, so if you were expecting that, I’m not surprised you were disappointed!

I’m so glad you liked the sandwiches, and that my blog has been helpful to you. And yay that you have a stand mixer…I love my Kitchen-Aid so much.

Thanks for de-lurking! I love to hear from my readers.
