How to Make Easy French Dip Biscuits

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Assemble the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuits and separate them. On a clean surface, flatten each biscuit slightly using your hands or a rolling pin. Place a slice of roast beef and a slice of provolone cheese in the center of each biscuit.
  3. Seal and Shape: Fold the edges of the biscuit over the filling, pinching the seams together to seal. Place the sealed biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Optional Toppings: Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning for added flavor.
  5. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Prepare the Au Jus: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the au jus according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves mixing the au jus gravy mix with 1 cup of water and heating it on the stove until thickened.
  7. Serve: Once the biscuits are done, serve them warm with a small bowl of au jus for dipping.

Tips For Easy French Dip Biscuits

  • Make Ahead: Assemble the biscuits ahead of time and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake.
  • Extra Crispy: For a crispier exterior, bake the biscuits on a wire rack placed over the baking sheet.
  • Cheese Options: Swap out the provolone for Swiss or mozzarella if you prefer a different cheese.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Ham and Cheese: Use deli ham and cheddar cheese for a different flavor profile.
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute the roast beef with sautéed mushrooms and onions for a vegetarian twist.
  • Garlic Butter: Brush the biscuits with garlic butter before baking for an extra burst of flavor.

Make a Healthier Version
