Crockpot French Onion Beef

This was a fly by the seat of my pants, literally thought about it while I was sleeping and woke myself up to write the recipe down meal.  It came out so so good, it tastes like a roast beef dinner with french onion soup all in one, and besides nearly slicing my finger off with the mandolin while slicing the onions, it was a pretty painless process to make.

1- 4 to 5 pound eye of round roast, or 2 smaller 2 to 3 pound roasts
2 white onions sliced (softball sized)
5 cloves of garlic, whole and peeled
1 can of beef consomme, and 1 can of water
2 Knorr (or simmilar) extra large beef boullion cubes, if you don't have the extra large cubes, you can use 4 small cubes
1/2 cup of cooking sherry
1 stick of butter
Parsley flakes and black pepper to taste
About 6 shakes of worstechire sauce, if you choose (it kicked the onion flavor up a bunch when we added it)
3 tablespoons of olive oil

Coat bottom of crockpot with olive oil, and layer all onions on the bottom, then put in the garlic cloves, and season with the black pepper and parsley flakes (you can always add more as it cooks if you want more).  Cut the butter into tablespoon size pieces and place on top of the onions.  Place roasts on top of that, and pour in the beef consomme, can of water, and cooking sherry over the roast, add the Boullion cubes as is and  set the crock pot to High for 4 to 5 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours, and let it cook, before removing the meat if you choose to use the worstechire shake it in and let it cook for another 10 to 15 minutes .  

Once done let the meat rest for a minimum of 15 minutes, and then slice meat to desired thickness, and put back into crock pot.  Serve over sliced ciabatta rolls with the onions on top and a healthy portion of juice, sprinkle with cheese (we used a provolone, mozzerella blend) and voila! French onion beef.

This made enough for all four of us to have 3 dinners and for My Husband to take for a lunch one day. If you run Low on juice adding in a can of campbells or similar french onion soup will stretch the juice farther

I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
I would also love to hear comments or thoughts on these recipes when you make them :)

Till next time,
