Roast Beef Sandwiches with Broccoli Salad

**For this meal you will need to do a little prep ahead of time. Sorry! The meat needs to cook for either 4 or 8 hours. (Cooking it for 8 on LOW is better). You will need to put the salad together at least 2 hours before you eat it so that all the flavors can blend and the broccoli can soften. I didn't want to make the salad for you in case some of you don't eat this meal until the end of the week. By then I think that the salad would be soggy.

Roast Beef Sandwiches

Ingredients:

3 lb chuck or round roast

French rolls

Swiss cheese slices

Prep:

Pour soups and dressing mix into the crock pot and stir. Add roast. Cook 8 hours on LOW or 4 hours on HIGH. Shred or slice the meat thinly and serve on toasted rolls with Swiss cheese. You can ladle some of the “au jus” into bowls for people to dip their sandwiches in.
