I have a friend who loves open-faced hot roast beef sandwiches from various diners throughout the area. Rather than do yet another carry-out, I looked and found this wonderful recipe that mimics well the type of sandwich served in diners in our area. I used a rump roast and, after 10 hours, it was very tender and yielded over 4 cups broth (I left it fat side up in the crock pot - removed extra fat when it was done cooking). The gravy was good -- however, probably added less than 1 cup flour/water -- and would add even less next time. My friend thought it was excellent (thank you!). I used salt-free bouillon packet -- may try "Better than Bouillon" next time for a bit richer flavor. The crockpot made this really easy (no roasting pan/meat thermometers/etc.) Thanks for posting!

I am a real estate paralegal who has two great passions in life: writing and baking. I grew up in PA so I enjoy trying a lot of Amish recipes, but my move to the south when I married my hubby has introduced my tastebuds to a whole new world of down-home southern cookin'. I have two beautiful little girls and one very stubborn (but spoiled) Himilayan cat. Always excited to try a new recipe.
