Baked French Dip Biscuits Recipe

Introduction

If you love French dip sandwiches but want something easier, cheesier, and way more snackable, you need to try these Baked French Dip Biscuits. They’re golden, flaky biscuit pockets stuffed with thin-sliced roast beef and gooey provolone, baked until puffed and buttery, then served with warm au jus for dipping.

Think of them as the perfect mash-up: part biscuit, part slider, part French dip. They’re ideal for game day appetizers, potlucks, family dinners, or even quick “oops, we forgot dinner” nights.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe is simple and requires just a few pantry and deli staples:

1 can jumbo flaky biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands)
½ pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
6–8 slices provolone cheese (or Swiss for variation)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 packet au jus gravy mix (or beef consommé)
Optional: horseradish sauce, caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, or Dijon mustard

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven

Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Flatten the biscuits

Take each biscuit and gently flatten into a circle using your hands or the back of a spoon.

3. Fill the centers

Place a slice of roast beef and half a slice of cheese in the center. Add optional extras like onions or mustard. Fold dough around filling and pinch edges to seal. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.

4. Brush and bake

Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley. Brush over biscuits. Bake for 14–17 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.

5. Make the au jus

Prepare the au jus according to packet instructions (usually simmer with water).

6. Serve hot

Serve biscuits warm with small bowls of au jus for dipping.
