Ingredients You’ll Need

  • Refrigerated biscuit dough: The shortcut that makes this recipe weeknight-friendly. The flaky layers create the perfect vessel for holding our fillings.
  • Deli roast beef: Provides that classic French dip flavor without hours of roasting. Look for thicker-cut slices for the best texture.
  • Provolone cheese: Mild and melty, it complements the beef perfectly. Each slice adds a creamy, gooey center when baked.
  • Butter: Creates a golden, flavorful crust on the biscuits and helps our herbs and spices stick.
  • Worcestershire sauce: Adds depth and umami that enhances the beef flavor throughout the biscuit.
  • Herbs and spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper create an aromatic herb butter that transforms ordinary biscuits into something special.
  • Beef broth: The essential dipping companion that completes the French dip experience. The warm broth soaks into the biscuit with each dip, creating flavor magic.

Variations

Different Flavor Profiles

  • Italian Style: Swap the roast beef for salami and pepperoni, use mozzarella cheese, and add Italian seasoning to the butter mixture.
  • Breakfast Version: Fill with scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheddar cheese for morning-friendly biscuits.
  • Buffalo Chicken: Replace beef with shredded chicken tossed in buffalo sauce, use blue cheese instead of provolone, and serve with ranch for dipping.

Dietary Adjustments

  • Vegetarian Option: Fill with sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Swiss cheese for a meatless version that’s still packed with flavor.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free biscuit dough and ensure your Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free.

How to Make Baked French Dip Biscuits

Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits

Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a baking dish. Take each refrigerated biscuit and gently flatten it with your palms until it’s about twice its original diameter, creating a little disc that’s ready for filling.

Step 2: Add the Fillings

Place a slice of roast beef on each flattened biscuit, followed by a slice of provolone cheese. The beef and cheese should be centered on the biscuit with enough dough around the edges to seal.

Step 3: Form the Stuffed Biscuits

Carefully fold the edges of each biscuit up and over the fillings, working your way around until the meat and cheese are completely enclosed. Pinch the seams firmly to seal, then place seam-side down in your prepared baking dish.

Step 4: Create the Herb Butter

In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended, creating a fragrant herb butter that will take these biscuits to the next level.

Step 5: Brush and Bake

Generously brush the herb butter over the tops of each stuffed biscuit. Don’t be shy here – this butter mixture adds tremendous flavor! Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the biscuits are beautifully puffed and golden brown.

Step 6: Prepare the Dipping Broth

While the biscuits bake, warm the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat. You want it hot but not boiling. Transfer to individual dipping bowls for serving.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

  • Seal Completely: Make sure to pinch the seams of the biscuits firmly to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
  • Even Sizing: Try to flatten each biscuit to roughly the same thickness for even cooking.
  • Butter Technique: If your butter mixture begins to solidify while working, microwave it for 10 seconds to re-melt.
  • Broth Enhancements: For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine or a few drops of Worcestershire sauce to your beef broth.
  • Check Early: Ovens vary, so start checking your biscuits around the 18-minute mark to prevent over-browning.

How to Serve

These Baked French Dip Biscuits truly shine when served piping hot from the oven alongside small bowls of warm beef broth for dipping. The communal, interactive nature of this dish makes it perfect for gathering around the table.

Perfect Pairings:

  • A simple green salad with vinaigrette balances the richness of the biscuits
  • Crispy french fries or potato chips for a diner-style meal
  • Roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts or carrots for a complete dinner

Serving Style:

For casual dining, place the baking dish in the center of the table with individual dipping bowls of broth. For a more elegant presentation, arrange biscuits on a platter with fresh herbs as garnish and serve broth in small ramekins.

Make Ahead and Storage

Make Ahead

You can assemble these biscuits up to 24 hours in advance. Prepare through step 4, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, add an extra 3-5 minutes to the baking time.

Storing Leftovers

Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store leftover broth separately in a covered container.

Freezing

These biscuits freeze beautifully! Once baked and cooled, place them in a freezer-safe container separated by parchment paper. Freeze for up to 2 months.

Reheating

For best results, reheat biscuits in a 325°F oven for 10-12 minutes until warmed through. Microwave individual biscuits for 20-30 seconds if you’re in a hurry. Always reheat the broth separately on the stovetop or in the microwave.

FAQs

  1. Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated?

    Absolutely! Homemade biscuit dough works wonderfully in this recipe. Roll it to about 1/4-inch thickness before adding your fillings. You may need to adjust the baking time slightly, so keep an eye on them as they bake.

  2. My cheese is leaking out during baking. What am I doing wrong?

    This usually happens when the biscuits aren’t sealed properly. Make sure to really pinch those seams closed, and consider using slightly smaller pieces of cheese that don’t extend all the way to the edges of the flattened biscuit. Placing the biscuits seam-side down and giving them a little space in the baking dish also helps.

  3. Can I make this with other meats besides roast beef?

    Definitely! Thinly sliced turkey, ham, or even shredded chicken works beautifully in this recipe. Each will give a different flavor profile, so adjust your seasonings accordingly. For example, with turkey, you might want to use sage instead of rosemary.

  4. What’s the best beef broth to use for dipping?

    For the most flavorful experience, use a good-quality beef stock or broth. Better Than Bouillon beef base makes an excellent dipping broth when prepared according to package directions. If you have time, reducing regular beef broth by about 25% concentrates the flavor for an even better dipping experience.

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Dip:

  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
  2. Prepare the Biscuits
    Separate the biscuit dough into 8 individual biscuits. Use your hands to gently flatten each biscuit slightly, creating a larger surface area for the filling.
  3. Fill the Biscuits
    Place one slice of roast beef and one slice of provolone cheese onto each flattened biscuit. Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching the seams to seal and form a ball.
  4. Arrange in the Baking Dish
    Place the filled biscuits seam-side down into the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
  5. Prepare the Butter Mixture
    In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
  6. Brush and Bake
    Generously brush the butter mixture over the tops of the filled biscuits. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked.
  7. Prepare the Beef Dip
    While the biscuits are baking, heat the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Pour the warm broth into individual serving bowls for dipping.
  8. Serve
    Serve the freshly baked biscuits warm with the beef broth on the side for dipping. These are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Notes

  • For added spice, include a slice of jalapeño or a drizzle of hot sauce with the filling before sealing the biscuits.
  • Experiment with other types of cheese, such as Swiss or cheddar, to customize the flavors.
  • For a vegetarian alternative, replace the roast beef with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
  • Assemble the biscuits ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
