  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 8 biscuits 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16.3-oz) can refrigerated biscuits (8-count, such as Pillsbury Grands! Flaky Layers)
  • 1 lb thinly sliced deli roast beef or chicken
  • 2 Tbsp creamy horseradish sauce (or adjust to taste)
  • 8 slices provolone cheese
  • 1 (1-oz) packet Au Jus Gravy mix
  • 2 Tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing)
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits

  • Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate each biscuit into two thinner layers. This will create a top and bottom layer for each stuffed biscuit.
  • Lay out the separated biscuits on a clean surface.

Step 3: Add the Fillings

  • Spread a thin layer of creamy horseradish sauce on each biscuit half. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less or omit it altogether.
  • Place one slice of provolone cheese on half of the biscuit rounds.
  • Layer thinly sliced roast beef or chicken over the cheese. You can fold the meat to fit within the biscuit’s shape.

Step 4: Seal the Biscuits

  • Take the remaining biscuit halves and place them on top of the filled biscuits.
  • Pinch the edges together firmly to seal. This step is crucial to ensure the cheese and meat stay inside while baking.

Step 5: Bake the Biscuits

  • Arrange the stuffed biscuits on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving at least an inch of space between them to allow for even baking.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 6: Prepare the Au Jus Dipping Sauce

  • While the biscuits are baking, prepare the Au Jus Gravy mix according to the package instructions.
  • Typically, this involves whisking the gravy mix with water and heating it over medium heat until it thickens slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent lumps.

Step 7: Finishing Touches

  • Once the biscuits are golden brown and baked through, remove them from the oven.
  • For extra flavor, brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with dried parsley. This enhances both the appearance and taste.
  • Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the warm French Dip Biscuits with a small bowl of au jus sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

  • Biscuits Won’t Seal Properly: If the edges of your biscuits don’t stick together, try pressing them more firmly or lightly wetting the edges with water before pinching.
  • Biscuits Bake Unevenly: Make sure to leave space between biscuits on the baking sheet and use an oven thermometer to confirm the temperature is accurate.
  • Cheese Oozes Out: A little melting is normal, but if too much cheese leaks out, make sure the biscuits are well-sealed and don’t overfill them.

Helpful Kitchen Tips:

  • Prepping Ingredients Efficiently: Have all ingredients ready before you start assembling to make the process smoother.
  • Batch Cooking: If making these for a crowd, prepare multiple batches and keep them warm in the oven at 200°F until ready to serve.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to maintain their texture.
