    Which recipe do you and your kids like better. The hot beef or the French dip? And why?

    1. Amy Hanten says:

      Hi Billie. That’s a tough one. We love them both. The Hot Beef is more of a gravy, while the French Dips have an au jus. Thanks! -Amy

  2. Lori Mueller says:

    instead of a chuck roast can you use a sirloin roast like a Festival spoon roast. I would just slice it before putting it in the crock pot.

    1. Amy Hanten says:

      Hi Lori. Yes! A spoon roast should work! No need to slice it. -Amy

  3. Cooking it tonight. How long does it take to melt the cheese.

  4. Yes, Carol, you can do this in the oven too! I would increase the beef stock to 8 to 12 cups and bake in a covered dutch oven or cover in foil in a roasting pan at 300 degrees for 4 to 5 hours or until tender.

  5. Carol Siegrist says:

    Hi Amy,
    I do not have a slow cooker and was wondering if the French Dip could be made in the regular oven? If yes, what temperature would you recommend? Thanks.

  6. Hi Pat. Just make sure you get a nice big 6 or more pound roast or two 3 pound roasts and use 6 to 8 cups chicken stock and you should have enough for 12 people. You can cut meat up a bit if the big roast doesn’t fit in the slow cooker. Thanks! -Amy

  7. Amy, How many do you think this will serve. I am having company off and on through the holiday week. Thinking this one would be a good one on days we leave for outings and come back for dinner instead of eating out. I know my kids will also be joining in..so thinking I will be having at least 10-12 people here at these gatherings. thanks pat
