Description

French Dip Biscuits transform the classic French dip sandwich into a delightful, easy-to-serve appetizer perfect for any occasion. These biscuits combine the savory taste of roast beef and melty provolone cheese enclosed in a golden, buttery biscuit, served with a side of Au Jus for dipping.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16.3-ounce) can refrigerated biscuits (8-count, such as Pillsbury Grands! or similar large biscuits)
  • 1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
  • 2 tablespoons creamy horseradish sauce (or more, to taste)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 (1-ounce) packet Au Jus Gravy mix (plus water or ingredients needed to prepare it per package)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  
  • Prepare Biscuits: Separate the 8 refrigerated biscuits. Carefully split each biscuit horizontally into two layers (a top and a bottom).
  • Add Horseradish Sauce: Spread the creamy horseradish sauce evenly over the cut side of all biscuit layers (both tops and bottoms). Adjust the amount to your taste preference.
  • Assemble Biscuit Bottoms: Place 8 biscuit layers (the bottom halves) cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Top each with a slice of provolone cheese. Divide the thinly sliced roast beef evenly among the 8 biscuit bottoms, layering it on top of the cheese.
  • Complete Biscuits: Place the remaining 8 biscuit layers (the top halves) on top of the roast beef, horseradish-side down. Gently pinch the edges of the top and bottom biscuit layers together to seal them.
  • Bake: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Prepare Au Jus: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the Au Jus Gravy mix according to the package directions using the required amount of water. Keep warm.
  • Serve: Serve the baked French Dip Biscuits warm with the prepared Au Jus on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Biscuits: Use large refrigerated biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands!) that can be easily separated into layers.
  • Roast Beef: Choose good quality, thinly sliced deli roast beef.
  • Horseradish Sauce: Creamy horseradish sauce adds a nice kick. Adjust the amount based on your heat preference.
  • Cheese: Provolone is classic, but Swiss cheese also pairs well.
  • Sealing: Pinching the edges helps keep the filling inside, though some cheese melting out is normal.
  • Au Jus: Prepare the Au Jus mix right before serving so it’s warm for dipping.
  • Storage: These are best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated briefly in an oven or air fryer.
