How to Make French Dip Biscuits

1. Prepare the Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Separate each biscuit into two layers, creating 16 thinner biscuit rounds.

2. Assemble the Biscuits

  1. Spread a thin layer of horseradish sauce on each biscuit round.
  2. Place a slice of provolone cheese on half of the biscuits.
  3. Add a generous portion of roast beef on top of the cheese.
  4. Cover with the remaining biscuit layers and pinch the edges together to seal.

3. Bake the Biscuits

  1. Arrange the assembled biscuits on the lined baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
  3. Remove from the oven and immediately brush with melted butter for extra flavor.

4. Prepare the Au Jus Sauce

  1. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the au jus gravy mix according to package instructions.
  2. Simmer over low heat until ready to serve.

5. Serve & Enjoy

  1. Serve the warm biscuits with hot au jus for dipping.
  2. Enjoy them as-is or pair them with chips, fries, or a fresh salad for a full meal.

Storage & Reheating Tips

  • Refrigerate: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • Freeze: Wrap biscuits individually and freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat: Warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes for the best texture.

Variations & Substitutions

  • Switch up the cheese – Try Swiss, cheddar, or pepper jack for a different twist.
  • Add caramelized onions – Sautéed onions add even more flavor.
  • Use turkey or shredded chicken – A lighter alternative to roast beef.
  • Make it spicy – Add a little spicy brown mustard or pepper jack cheese for heat.
  • Gluten-free option – Use gluten-free biscuit dough to make these friendly for everyone.

Serving Ideas

  • Game day snack – Serve with extra au jus and a side of crispy fries.
  • Casual dinner – Pair with a simple salad or roasted vegetables.
  • Party appetizer – Make mini versions using smaller biscuits.
  • Lunch meal prep – Keep them in the fridge and reheat throughout the week.

FAQs About French Dip Biscuits

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the biscuits a few hours in advance and refrigerate them until ready to bake.

What’s the best way to reheat them?

For the best texture, reheat in a 350°F oven until warmed through. Avoid the microwave, as it can make the biscuits soggy.

Can I make homemade biscuits instead of using refrigerated ones?

Absolutely! If you have a favorite homemade biscuit dough, you can use that instead.

What’s the best cheese for French Dip Biscuits?

Provolone is classic, but Swiss, mozzarella, or white cheddar also work well.

How do I keep the biscuits from getting too soggy?

To prevent sogginess, avoid overfilling them with roast beef, and always serve the au jus on the side for dipping.
