I was just saying it was salvageable :silly: </p> <p>The sandwiches turned out awesome! I tried reheating in the crockpot but it was taking too long on low and I was afraid to turn it on high and toughen it so I transferred to a stock pot on the stove. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457557 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 23:21:11 +0000 gingerbebe 2457557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: Sorry, wasn't trying to insult your cooking or anything like that! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457426 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 20:15:48 +0000 SweetCaroline 2457426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: your plan sounds fantastic. Sometimes if my roast seems tough its because I didn't cook it long enough. I'd totally put that meat back in the crock pot, completely covered in the gravy/juices and simmer baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457297 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 17:46:33 +0000 daniellemybelle 2457297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I wouldn't say it is really dry and tough! But thanks for the serving suggestion - that sounds yummy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457280 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 17:23:27 +0000 gingerbebe 2457280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the meat is really dry and tough, its going to be annoying trying to chew through slices of that that in a sandwich. I would change it up to make it more like a chopped/loose meat sandwich by chopping up the meat into bits, mixing it with your gravy or some BBQ sauce and maybe some onions or mushrooms if you have it, some cheese if you want it, and serve it up that way. That way the meat will be juicy/saucy and chopped up for easier eating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457275 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 17:21:35 +0000 daniellemybelle 2457275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Okay - probably overthinking. :happy: </p> <p>@Pumpkin Pie: I was going to just use the "juice" (why does saying this gross me out so much?). I cooked the roast in a can of beef broth and a can of cream of mushroom soup with seasonings added so there is plenty of, er, liquid. I thought I might reduce it to make it a bit thicker and more flavorful? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457266 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 17:15:24 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2457266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you plan to use for the "dip", and how much juice do you have? If you have a lot of the juice, you can reheat in it so that its not so dry. If you don't have a lot, you can get a can of french onion soup, and use that as the juice/dip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457184 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:05:47 +0000 blackbird 2457184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I dunno why not </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457171 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 15:48:02 +0000 daniellemybelle 2457171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Can I just use the broth from the pot? So, what it is in now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457116 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 15:16:20 +0000 blackbird 2457116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Throw it in a pan with some beef juice/stock/broth over it. Then cover it in cheese :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/french-dip-sandwiches-from-leftover-pot-roast#post-2457110 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 15:11:07 +0000 daniellemybelle 2457110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not the best cook ever so please help me out!</p> <p>Made a pot roast yesterday in the crock pot. It came out okay - a little dry. Leftovers in the fridge in the "gravy" right now. I want to make French dip sandwiches from it tonight.</p> <p>How should I reheat? I don't want to dry it out more. Is it okay just to stick it back in the crock pot? </p>
