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.
