Baked French Dip Biscuits — Flaky, Cheesy, and Perfectly Dippable

If you love a classic French Dip sandwich but don’t want to fuss with the grill or a long roast, these Baked French Dip Biscuits are about to become your new obsession.

Flaky golden biscuits stuffed with thin-sliced roast beef, creamy horseradish, and gooey provolone cheese — all baked together into warm, melty perfection. Serve them with savory au jus dipping sauce, and you’ve got an easy dinner, snack, or party bite that everyone will rave about.

They’re hearty, flavorful, and take less than 30 minutes from start to finish.

Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

1 (16 oz) can refrigerated biscuits (like Pillsbury Grands or similar)
1 lb sliced deli roast beef (thin-sliced for best texture)
8 slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons creamy horseradish sauce (adjust to taste)

For Brushing (optional but amazing):

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon dried parsley (for garnish)

For Dipping:

1 packet au jus mix (prepared according to package instructions)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a large baking sheet or pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Pro Tip: For a crispier bottom, lightly grease the parchment with a bit of butter or olive oil.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits

Open the can of biscuits and split each biscuit in half horizontally (like opening a sandwich bun).
You should have a top and a bottom piece for each one.

Place the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Layer the Filling

Spread about ½ teaspoon of creamy horseradish sauce onto each biscuit bottom — just enough for flavor, not too much to overpower the cheese.

Next, layer on a few slices of roast beef (folded for texture and thickness).

Top each with a slice of provolone cheese, trimming or tearing to fit if needed.

Step 4: Top and Seal

Place the top halves of the biscuits over the fillings.
Press gently around the edges to lightly seal.
You can crimp the edges with a fork for a more secure seal if you like.

Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley on each biscuit for color and flavor.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden

Bake in the preheated oven for 13–16 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.
You’ll know they’re ready when the tops are beautifully crisp and a little cheese starts peeking out the sides.

Tip: For an extra golden crust, brush the tops again with melted butter right out of the oven.

Step 6: Prepare the Au Jus (Optional but Recommended!)

While the biscuits bake, prepare your au jus dipping sauce according to the packet instructions — usually just whisked into hot water.

You can also make a simple homemade version:

1 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
A dash of soy sauce and garlic powder

Simmer for 3–5 minutes for a rich, savory dip.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the warm, cheesy biscuits with a side of hot au jus for dipping.
Each bite delivers flaky biscuit layers, melted provolone, juicy roast beef, and that irresistible salty-savory dip that makes this dish unforgettable.

Serving Ideas

These biscuits are versatile and perfect for any occasion:

Game day snacks: Serve them in halves or quarters with dipping sauce.

Optional Variations

Cheese Swap: Use Swiss, mozzarella, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
Spicy Kick: Mix a little hot sauce or Dijon mustard into the horseradish.
Garlic Butter Upgrade: Stir minced garlic into the melted butter before brushing.
Mini Sliders: Use smaller biscuits or cut each in half to make bite-sized versions for parties.
