Easy French Dip Sandwiches

Easy French Dip Sandwiches - deli roast beef, homemade au jus, provolone and hoagie buns - SO good! Ready in 10 minutes. Great weeknight meal!

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!!
