For the French Dip Filling:

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 1 pound thinly sliced cooked roast beef (from the deli is perfect!)
• 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or Swiss, Provolone, or a blend)
• 1/2 cup French onion soup (canned or homemade)

Let’s Gather Our Supplies

Before we dive into the baking process, let’s make sure you’ve got everything you need! Having all your ingredients prepped and ready will make the whole process smoother and more enjoyable. It’s like setting the stage for a delicious performance. Don’t forget a large baking sheet, a skillet for sautéing, and a good, sharp knife for slicing that roast beef. I also find it helpful to have a small bowl for mixing the au jus ingredients.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Get Started: Prep the Oven and Biscuits

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Open the can of biscuits and separate them. If using large biscuits, you may want to gently flatten them slightly with your hand. This will help them hold the filling better.

Make the French Dip Filling:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. This step adds a wonderful depth of flavor!
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Stir in the French onion soup and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Add the sliced roast beef to the skillet and toss to coat it in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the beef is heated through.

Assemble the Biscuits:

1. Carefully split each biscuit in half horizontally, like you’re making a sandwich.
2. Spoon a generous amount of the roast beef mixture onto the bottom half of each biscuit.
3. Top with shredded Gruyere cheese (or your cheese of choice). Don’t be shy with the cheese – it’s what makes these biscuits extra gooey and delicious!
4. Place the top half of the biscuit over the filling, creating a little sandwich.
5. Place the assembled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake to Golden Perfection:

1. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

Prepare the Au Jus:

1. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the au jus dipping sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the condensed beef consommé, water, and Worcestershire sauce.
2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Serve and Enjoy!

1. Remove the Baked French Dip Biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
2. Serve warm with the au jus dipping sauce. Get ready for happy faces and empty plates!

Tips and Tricks for Perfect French Dip Biscuits

Okay, friend, let’s be real. Sometimes recipes look easier on paper than they are in practice. So, I’m here to share some secrets to avoid common pitfalls and make your Baked French Dip Biscuits a guaranteed success:

Preventing Soggy Biscuits

Nobody wants a soggy biscuit! To combat this, be sure not to overfill the biscuits with the roast beef mixture. A little goes a long way. Also, make sure the beef isn’t overly saturated with the French onion soup. If it seems too wet, drain off some of the excess liquid before filling the biscuits. You can also quickly toast the biscuit halves before adding the filling – just a minute or two in the oven will create a slight barrier against the moisture.

Cheese Choices Matter!

While Gruyere is my personal favorite for its nutty and slightly sweet flavor, feel free to experiment with other cheeses. Swiss cheese melts beautifully and has a mild, classic flavor that complements the beef. Provolone is another great option – it’s slightly tangy and adds a bit of sharpness. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a blend of different cheeses for a more complex flavor profile. Just be sure to use a cheese that melts well!

Level Up Your Roast Beef

While deli roast beef is convenient and works perfectly well, you can definitely elevate these biscuits by using leftover roast beef from a Sunday dinner. If you have some homemade roast beef on hand, thinly slice it and use that instead. The flavor will be even richer and more delicious. You can also use a slow cooker to make a pot roast specifically for these biscuits. However you choose to obtain it, a good quality beef is a must for these Garlic Parm Cheeseburger Bombs.

Variations to Spice Things Up

Spicy Kick

If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the roast beef mixture or a drizzle of hot sauce before serving. A little bit of Dijon mustard mixed into the French onion soup also adds a nice tangy kick.

Veggie Boost

Sneak in some extra veggies by adding sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to the roast beef mixture. They’ll add flavor and texture to your Hand Held Dinners.

Garlic Butter Goodness

Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted garlic butter before baking for extra flavor and a beautiful golden-brown crust. Simply melt some butter with minced garlic and a pinch of parsley, and brush it over the biscuits before they go into the oven.

Serving Suggestions: The Perfect Companions

While these Baked French Dip Biscuits are delicious on their own, they’re even better when paired with the right sides. A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette provides a refreshing contrast to the richness of the biscuits. You could also serve them with a side of roasted vegetables, like asparagus or Brussels sprouts. And if you’re looking for something a little heartier, a bowl of creamy tomato soup or a simple potato salad would be a perfect complement.

Consider pairing these with other delicious Dinner Recipes Biscuits such as French Onion Beef Sloppy Joes or the Addictive Crack Burgers Recipe. For a fresh take, you can also try Philly Cheesesteak Bowls Tonight or even Cheesesteak Stuffed Garlic Bread.

They’re hearty, flavorful, and fun to eat. Plus, they’re easy to customize to suit different tastes. What’s not to love?

Making Ahead & Storage

Want to get ahead of the dinner rush? You can assemble the biscuits ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to cover them tightly to prevent the biscuits from drying out. You can also prepare the roast beef mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to bake, simply assemble the biscuits and pop them in the oven. Leftover Baked French Dip Biscuits can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

Notes

To prevent soggy biscuits, avoid overfilling and ensure the beef isn’t overly saturated. Toasting the biscuit halves lightly before filling can also help. Gruyere is recommended, but Swiss or Provolone cheese are good substitutes. Deli roast beef is convenient, but leftover or slow-cooked roast beef will elevate the flavor. For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or Dijon mustard. For extra flavor, brush the biscuits with garlic butter before baking. Assembled biscuits can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking, and leftover biscuits can be stored for up to 3 days.
