Baked French Dip Biscuits: A Cozy Twist on a Classic Sandwich

Few comfort foods can rival the warm, savory satisfaction of a French dip sandwich. Traditionally made with thinly sliced beef layered inside a crusty roll and served with a rich au jus dipping sauce, it’s a dish that’s hearty and soul-warming. But what if you could capture all that flavor in a fun, bite-sized, and family-friendly form? That’s where Baked French Dip Biscuits come in. This creative twist transforms the classic sandwich into golden, flaky pockets filled with roast beef and gooey cheese, served with warm au jus for dipping. Perfect for cozy weekend meals, game nights, or even a quick weeknight dinner, these biscuits are as easy to make as they are delicious.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To prepare this dish, you’ll need just a few simple, readily available ingredients:

1 can of refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands, large-sized biscuits)
½ pound of thinly sliced deli roast beef (or leftover roast beef if you have some on hand)
6–8 slices of provolone or Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons of melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning (optional)
1 packet of au jus mix (plus water as directed on the package)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Open the can of biscuits and carefully separate them. Each biscuit will serve as a pocket, so flatten each one slightly with your fingers or a rolling pin until it forms a round disc about 4–5 inches wide.
