French Dip Biscuits

How To Make French Dip Biscuits

Step 1: Prep the Oven

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Split and Spread

Carefully split each biscuit in half horizontally.

Spread a thin layer of horseradish sauce on each piece. Don’t overdo it — just enough for flavor.

Step 3: Fill Them Up

On half of the biscuit bottoms:

• Add one slice of provolone

• Layer on a portion of roast beef

Top with the remaining biscuit halves and gently press edges together to seal.

Step 4: Bake

Place on prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. The tops should be beautifully puffed and lightly crisp.

Step 5: Prepare the Au Jus

While biscuits bake, prepare the au jus gravy according to package instructions.

Serve warm alongside the biscuits for dipping.

And let me tell you — that first dip into the hot au jus? Pure comfort.

What to Serve With French Dip Biscuits

These pair perfectly with:

• Crispy fries

• Sweet potato wedges

• Coleslaw

• Pickle spears

• Simple green salad

• Potato chips (for easy entertaining)

They’re also fantastic as part of an appetizer spread!

Tips for Perfect Biscuits

• Don’t overfill — it makes sealing harder.

• Press edges gently but firmly.

• Bake until deeply golden for best texture.

• For extra flavor, brush tops with melted butter right after baking.

• Serve immediately for the best melty cheese experience.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerator

Reheating

Reheat in:
