Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Biscuits:
- 1 can (16.3 oz) Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 8 slices Deli roast beef
- 8 slices Provolone cheese
For the Herb Butter & Dipping Broth:
- ¼ cup Melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon Dried rosemary
½ teaspoon Salt - ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Beef broth (for dipping)
How to Make Baked French Dip Biscuits
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. Flatten and Fill the Biscuits
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate it into 8 rounds. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands. Place a slice of roast beef and a slice of provolone cheese in the center of each one.
3. Seal the Edges
Fold the biscuit dough over the filling and pinch the seams closed to form a ball. Place each one seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
4. Make Herb Butter
In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and all the herbs and spices. Stir well.
5. Brush and Bake
Brush the tops of the biscuit balls generously with the herb butter mixture. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Warm the Broth
While the biscuits are baking, heat the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm.
7. Serve and Dip
Serve the hot biscuits with small bowls of warm beef broth for dipping. Every bite is buttery, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned.
