Baked French Dip Biscuits are a delightful twist on the classic French dip sandwich, perfect for a cozy weekend meal or a quick weeknight dinner.
Growing up in the Midwest, Sunday dinners were always a big deal in our family, and these biscuits bring back those warm, comforting memories.
They’re easy to make and incredibly satisfying, combining the savory flavors of roast beef and melted cheese with the buttery goodness of biscuits.
Whether you’re hosting friends or just looking to treat yourself after a long day, these biscuits are sure to hit the spot.
These Baked French Dip Biscuits pair wonderfully with a simple green salad or some roasted vegetables to balance out the richness.
If you’re feeling indulgent, serve them with a side of crispy fries or onion rings. For a lighter option, a bowl of vegetable soup or a fresh fruit salad would complement the savory flavors nicely.
Don’t forget a small bowl of au jus for dipping, which really elevates the whole experience!
Baked French Dip Biscuits
Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
8 slices deli roast beef
8 slices provolone cheese
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup beef broth
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Separate the biscuit dough into 8 biscuits and flatten each one slightly with your hands.
Place a slice of roast beef and a slice of provolone cheese on each biscuit.
Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball.
Arrange the filled biscuits seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
While the biscuits are baking, heat the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm.
Serve the biscuits warm with the beef broth on the side for dipping.
How to Store Baked French Dip Biscuits
To keep your delicious biscuits fresh and flavorful, here’s how to store them properly:
1. Refrigeration (Best for Short-Term Storage)
Cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess.
Place in an airtight container or wrap each biscuit tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To Reheat:
Oven: Wrap in foil and bake at 325°F (165°C) for 10–12 minutes until heated through.
Microwave: Heat for 30–45 seconds, but note the biscuit may soften.
2. Freezing (Best for Long-Term Storage)
Wrap each cooled biscuit individually in plastic wrap, then foil, or place in a freezer-safe bag.
Label with the date.
Freeze for up to 2 months.
To Reheat from Frozen:
Thaw overnight in the fridge for best texture.
Reheat as above, or bake directly from frozen at 325°F for 20–25 minutes (covered with foil for the first 15 minutes).
3. Au Jus Storage
Store leftover au jus in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave before serving.
Variations & Tips for Baked French Dip Biscuits
These warm, melty bites are already a hit, but here are some fun variations and smart tips to make them your own, suit different diets, or save time on busy days.
Flavor Variations
1. Cheese Swaps
Swiss – adds a nutty, classic French dip flavor
Cheddar – for a sharper bite
Pepper Jack – for heat and a creamy texture
Mozzarella – gooey and mild
2. Meaty Twists
Use shaved prime rib or leftover pot roast for a more homemade touch.
Try turkey and Swiss for a lighter option.
Use pastrami or corned beef for a deli-style twist.
3. Veggie Option
Sautéed mushrooms and onions with cheese make a delicious meatless version.
Add baby spinach or roasted red peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
4. Spice It Up
Tuck in a slice of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce inside each biscuit.
Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
Pro Tips for Success
Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can cause the biscuits to burst or bake unevenly.
Seal Well: Pinch the dough tightly to prevent cheese leakage.
Use a Muffin Tin: For extra control and even baking, place each biscuit in a greased muffin cup.
Double the Butter Glaze: It’s so good—you might want to save a little for brushing after baking too.
Make Ahead: Assemble and refrigerate unbaked biscuits up to 24 hours in advance. Great for parties or busy weeknights.
Freezer Friendly: Freeze baked biscuits and reheat as needed (see storage tips).
