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.

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.

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.

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.

Instructions

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.
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.
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.
Arrange in the Baking Dish
Place the filled biscuits seam-side down into the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
