French Dip Sliders Recipe


French dip sliders, just like the ones at Applebee’s! There is something about roast beef and Swiss cheese that is just amazing. This recipe uses deli roast beef so there is no need for a slow cooker. I know what you’re thinking, “but what about the Au Jus?” After all, what would French dips be without the Au Jus?  That won’t be a problem though because in this recipe you can make your own Au Jus without the use of a slow cooker. This process is done by simmering a few ingredients in a saucepan. These sliders make a great appetizer for parties or at home. Enjoy.
