Ingredients
- 1 (16.3 oz) can of chilled biscuit dough
- 1/2 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 (1 oz) package of au jus gravy mix
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare Biscuit Dough: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 2: Assemble the Filling
- Mix Mayonnaise and Hot Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and hot sauce. Mix well until fully incorporated.
- Prepare Roast Beef and Cheese: Lay out the thinly sliced roast beef and shredded Swiss cheese for easy assembly.
Step 3: Fill the Biscuits
- Add Filling: Spread a small amount of the mayonnaise and hot sauce mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Place a small pile of roast beef slices and a sprinkle of shredded Swiss cheese on top.
- Fold Biscuits: Fold the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal. Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake the Biscuits
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Prepare the Au Jus Dipping Sauce
- Make Au Jus: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the au jus dipping sauce according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves mixing the au jus gravy mix with 2 cups of water in a saucepan and bringing it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 6: Serve
- Serve Biscuits: Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Dip and Enjoy: Serve the French Dip Biscuits warm with the au jus dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy this savory, cheesy, and delicious treat!
Cooking Notes
- Biscuit Dough: Use refrigerated biscuit dough for convenience. If you prefer, you can make homemade biscuit dough from scratch.
- Roast Beef: Thinly sliced deli roast beef works best for this recipe. Ensure it’s well seasoned for maximum flavor.
- Cheese: Swiss cheese adds a classic flavor, but you can substitute with provolone or cheddar if desired.
- Spiciness: Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the mayonnaise mixture to suit your taste.
