Easy French Dip Sandwiches

This month's Tastemaker Program from Foodbuzz.com was bread from Nature's Pride. We received deli rolls and two different sandwich/burger buns. I decided to make French Dip Sandwiches on the deli rolls.  I love a good french dip from a steak house, and these french dip sandwiches rivaled any that I've had in a restaurant.  The best part about these sandwiches is that they only take about 10 minutes to throw together!  Can't beat that!!

(Printable Recipe)

• 1 (10.5 ounce) can beef consommé
• 1 cup water
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
• 8 slices provolone cheese
• 4 hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
• 4 Tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Open the hoagie rolls and lay out on a baking sheet. Combine melted butter and 1/2 tsp garlic powder and brush on hoagie rolls.

Heat beef consomme, water and garlic powder in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat to make a rich beef broth. Place the roast beef in the broth and warm for 3 minutes. Arrange the meat on the hoagie rolls and top each roll with 2 slices of provolone.

Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese just begins to melt. Serve the sandwiches with small bowls of the warm broth for dipping.
