Ok, let’s be honest, are some of your pressure cookers still in the box? I’ve gave you a few recipes like Hamburger Stroganoff, Beef Taco Soup and Spaghetti to try in those Instant Pots. These recipes are so simple and the perfect ones to start with if you are that person letting your Instant Pot collect dust.

Now, I know some of you pressure cooking addicts, which I saying with love, are rolling your eyes that someone might have a Instant Pot still in their box! Go easy one those people, it’s a scary tool to embrace. I get it. No shame here.

I was totally one of those people until I found some “go to” recipes that were EASY and I felt like I could tackle with no prior knowledge of the pressure cooker. For example this French Dip Sandwich is the perfect recipe to start with.

Now, if you don’t have a pressure cooker no reason to think you you still can’t making this French Dip Sandwich! You can also use your slow cooker to get a tender, juicy roast perfect for assembling a French Dip Sandwich.

I’ve made them both ways. It really just depends how much time I have on my hands and if I have my act together in the morning or if I realize I need dinner made and it’s already late afternoon!

Honestly, it’s usually the latter of those two options since I work at home now. I’m scrounging around mid afternoon thinking I need to get my act together for dinner. Before, when I worked outside of the home, I had a menu and a game plan because I knew I didn’t have the option of waiting until the last moment. I should probably start that again because it was amazing having it all planned out and not hustling and bustling at the last moment!

I still follow a weekly menu plan so I know I have X number of options to make each week. Did you know I send out meal plan just for you if you subscribe to to our newsletter? That’s right! A bunch of options when you get in a rut and need to mix up that menu a little bit!

Which is all the time if you are like me!

You should for sure put these delicious Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches on your meal plan this week! They are such a hearty meal and so easy. I take the short cut and use a pack of Au Jus Mix so this recipe is nice simple.
