FRENCH ONION DIP SANDWICHES (SLOW COOKER)
This combines the greatness that is French onion soup with French dips. It is not supposed to be an 'authentic' French dip recipe, because authentic is often boring. These are yummy sandwiches for those that like roast beef and French onion soup. It is mainly on the slow cooker, but it requires a bit of prep on the stove, too.

Steps:
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large, deep pot. Add onions and toss to coat with oil. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 15 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter. Cook and stir until onions start to brown, about 15 minutes more.
- Stir sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt into the onions in the pot. Continue to cook, stirring once halfway through, until onions are well-browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Mix in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir 3 tablespoons of water into the pot, scraping bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 3 minutes; repeat with an additional 3 tablespoons water. Simmer for 3 minutes more and repeat. Add vermouth; scrape bits from the bottom and sides of the pot. Cook for 4 minutes more. Add stock, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, and bay leaf. Simmer for 10 minutes; do not boil. Add black pepper. Discard bay leaf. Remove pot from heat and allow soup to cool. Pour into the slow cooker, but don't turn it on.
- Trim any excess fat from the rump roast. Sprinkle all sides with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the pot over high heat. Cook the meat, holding it down with tongs, until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer meat carefully to the slow cooker. Spoon the soup over the meat so that it is topped with a few onions. Cover and cook on Low for 4 hours.
- Remove meat from the slow cooker. Slice it diagonally and return slices to the slow cooker. Continue to cook on Low for 2 hours more.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread rolls with remaining 2 tablespoons butter; place face-down on a baking sheet.
- Bake rolls in the preheated oven until beginning to brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip, and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and turn on the oven's broiler. Broil rolls until cheese is slightly bubbly and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Remove meat from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon. Place on the rolls. Serve soup on the side for dipping.

JIM'S FRENCH ONION DIP - OLD DUTCH / LAYS (COPYCAT)
I reverse-engineered Old Dutch French Onion Dip and created an easy "Fresh" alternative that I personally think tastes far better than Old Dutch or Lays without all the unpronounceable additives and preservatives. I hesitated to refer to this as a Copycat recipe, as it is an insult with how fresh, flavorful, and tasty this amazing dip truly is. Once you try this, I'm sure you would regret ever needing to buy a store bought brand version ever again! This French Onion Dip makes a perfect chip or vegetable dip and you are sure to gobble it up!! The suggested number of servings may appear to be a little high, but according to Nutritional Data, 1 suggested serving size for dip from a commercial product is 2 Tbls.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and thyme sprigs, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized, 15 to 17 minutes (reduce the heat if the onion is getting too dark). Add the Worcestershire sauce and cook until the skillet is dry, about 1 minute. Add the beef broth and cook, stirring, until the mixture is slightly saucy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly; discard the thyme sprigs and stir in the chives.
- Using a small serrated knife, hollow out the bread loaf, leaving a ½-inch-thick shell; reserve the cut-out bread. Drizzle the inside of the bread with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fill the loaf with half of the brie, then top with the onion mixture and the remaining brie; transfer to a baking sheet. Bake until the brie melts and the bread is toasted, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, slice the reserved bread into pieces and arrange on a separate baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until toasted, 5 to 8 minutes. Top the dip with more chives and serve with the toasted bread and crackers and/or crudites.

Steps:
- 1. Caramelize the onions over a medium high heat. by, adding butter ,1 pinch of salt , and onions to pan. after about 15 min. add sugar. keep cooking until dark and delicious.
- 2. when onions are caramelized, add to bowl with sour cream, and salt, pepper, onion powder and stir until all incorporated.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh onions, flavorful cheese, and creamy mayonnaise are essential for a delicious French onion dip. Look for sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla for a milder flavor, or use yellow or white onions for a more robust taste. Use a good quality mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's or Duke's, and shredded cheese that melts well, such as Gruyère, Emmental, or Swiss.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: Caramelizing the onions is what gives French onion dip its rich, complex flavor. Be patient and cook the onions over medium heat until they are deeply golden brown and very soft. This can take up to 45 minutes, but it's worth the wait.
- Use a food processor or blender to make a smooth dip: A food processor or blender will help you achieve a smooth and creamy dip. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can finely chop the onions and cheese by hand, but it will take longer.
- Chill the dip before serving: Chilling the dip allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to spread. You can make the dip up to 3 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers: French onion dip is traditionally served with potato chips, but it can also be served with vegetables, crackers, or bread. Some popular dippers include:
