On the menu for Thursday night were French Dips. These are pretty darn easy and fast.
You can do French Dips 1 of 2 ways. Either buy sliced roast beef and a packet of au jus or you can buy a roast (rib, rump, or sirloin) and use the drippings for your au jus. Either way it is a home cooked meal that you didn't get from a drive thru.
This meal was semi-homemade. I purchased sliced roast beef but I made my own rolls. Next time I will buy the roast! It actually works out to be a savings. The roast beef was $9/lb. and I needed 1 1/2 lbs. because we had the missionaries over for dinner. I ended up spending about $13 for the roast beef when I'm sure I could have gotten a roast for less than that.
If you choose to cook a roast here is a wonderful recipe from Bobby Flay.

I love to make my own hoagies for sandwiches. Below is the recipe that I use. Making your own breads really doesn't take that much time and you know exactly what ingredients are being put into what you are eating.
