French Dip Au Jus

Embarrassing story time. The very first time I had a hangover I went to Perkins and ordered a French dip with mozzarella and fries with ranch. Ever since, it's a typical hangover meal for me. I didn't make this recipe for a hangover, but it was pretty awesome. Make sure to get some great hoagies or french bread for the sandwiches.

Serves 8

In a small bowl, combine beef bouillon and thyme. Rub over beef roast. Place in a 5-quart slow cooker, and add the onion, soy sauce, garlic, pepper and water. 

Cover and cook on low for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender. Remove meat and let stand for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat and saute mushrooms until tender. Slice beef and place on hoagies with a slice of mozzarella. Serve with the au jus.
