My family loves beef. So when I went through my recipe box looking for inspiration I came across these easy French dip sandwiches that I have not made in a very long time. Not quite sure why I’ve not made them in a while because we usually have roast beef in the fridge, either leftover or from the deli. My family is still talking about them.
I found this recipe years ago on the Taste of Home website and doctored it up just a bit with the addition of Worcestershire sauce. Something my husband is not a big fan of but doesn’t notice in this recipe. I find the Worcestershire sauce adds a great flavor to the canned French onion soup. I’m not usually a fan of using canned soups I do so for quick convenience. They can be a great beginning for sauces in some recipes.
I made these for lunch recently and I decided to share for this week’s Taste of Home Tuesday with my fellow volunteer field editors. If you’re new to the blog, TOH Tuesday is where I share some of my favorite Taste of Home recipes. A few other lunch favorites include hot dog breadsticks and hot colby ham sandwiches. I like to use hoagie rolls from our supermarket bakery because they are easy to dip. You can use any type of roll you enjoy.
Ingredients
- 2 cans (10-1/2 ounces) condensed French onion soup, undiluted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls, split but not cut through
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat combine the soup, Worcestershire sauce, and water. Stir gently. Add roast beef slices. Heat thoroughly and until soup being to bubble.
- Meanwhile, place a slice of cheese on each bun bottom. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 1 minute or until melted. Using a slotted spoon, place beef on buns; replace tops. Ladle onion soup into small ramekins and serve for dipping.

I was desperate to find something he would enjoy in his lunchbox. Now this is a kid who will eat just about anything and will try just about anything at least once. I thought and thought and it finally came to me – why not make one of my favorite appetizers into a hot lunch for him. I pitched him the idea of mini BBQ meatballs. He was totally game.
You really get a sense of how time flies when you do a regular post like these Taste of Home Tuesday posts. Good thing I make a lot of Taste of Home recipe so I do have a bit of a stash. My brother was visiting recently and I served these delicious hot colby ham sandwiches. These sandwiches are quick and easy to make for a weekend lunch. Or serve with a salad and/or soup for a delicious weeknight dinner. They take about 30 minutes to make. They are kid approved as well because they were a big hit with the youngsters.
