Papa Charlie's French Dip: Product Review

Jack Oceano
If you want to enjoy a classic French Dip roast beef sandwich, you no longer have to run out to the restaurant. You can enjoy one right at home with Papa Charlie's French Dip. Here is a product review of Papa Charlie's French Dip.

Papa Charlie's French Dip is fully cooked and microwaveable. It's kept frozen until it's heated and served. Heating Papa Charlie's French Dip is simple. You can heat it on a stove top once the product is thawed completely. Simply place the contents of the container in an uncovered saucepan, heat on a medium setting for three to five minutes, stirring occasionally until it's good and hot. Or it can be heated in the microwave. Sound too easy? I thought so. But the results are far better than I ever expected. The beef is lean and savory, the broth delicious. You'll find yourself with a classic French Dip sandwich that will rival those you get at most pubs and chain restaurants.

Each container of Papa Charlie's French Dip runs about five dollars. You get approximately four servings per container, and each serving is only eighty calories, fifteen calories from fat. Zero grams trans fat. It's a fairly healthy meal that can be made ready to eat in under fifteen minutes.

Of course, French Dip is best when served on a hard roll, so be sure to pick some up when you purchase Papa Charlie's French Dip. You decide how you would like to use the broth. You can either soak the entire sandwich in the savory broth all at once, or dip each and every bite, as most people do.

Most "restaurant-inspired" frozen foods are a big disappointment, and just about all fail to live up to their promise of being as good as what you'd get served in a restaurant. But Papa Charlie's French Dip stands out from that crowd. The beef and broth are both delicious and easy to prepare. You decide on the toppings. I recommend adding melted cheese, like mozzarella or American. Lettuce and tomatoes are always a good idea. Or eat it plain. With the outstanding broth, a French Dip sandwich is never dry. You can serve your French Dip sandwiches with french fries or chips, with vegetables and soups or salads.

Enjoy Papa Charlie's French Dip. Look for the maroon package in the frozen food section of your local grocery store.
