Notes

Swiss cheese adds a more traditional french dip sandwich flavor.
Use leftover slow cooker beef for a crockpot french dip sandwiches twist.
These squares reheat well in the oven or air fryer.
Great alternative to beef sliders or slider sandwiches for parties.
Serve with fries, salad, or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
