So let me tell you about the night I threw this French Dip Biscuit Bake together—I had leftover roast beef, a can of biscuits, and absolutely zero motivation to make a big dinner. And somehow, out of that little chaos, magic happened. This bake is warm, flaky, cheesy, beefy, and it comes with a savory au jus that makes it feel way fancier than it is. But really? It’s just comfort food wrapped up in a golden biscuit hug.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

It’s everything you love about a French dip sandwich but baked into a bubbly casserole dish—no sandwich assembly line or griddle necessary. It’s fast, easy, and perfect for a busy weeknight or when guests show up unannounced. The buttery biscuits puff up beautifully, the melty provolone gives it that creamy bite, and that beef? So good dunked in the homemade au jus. It’s got diner vibes in the best way.

Ingredients (just the highlights!)

You’ll find the full ingredient list down below, but here’s what makes this dish shine:

Canned flaky biscuits (the shortcut that makes it so easy)
Thinly sliced roast beef (deli or homemade both work)
Provolone cheese (melts like a dream)
Butter, Worcestershire, and beef broth (for that signature au jus)

Directions

Preheat and Prep the Pan

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lightly greasing a 9×13-inch baking dish. You want a little something so those biscuits don’t stick.

Cut and Layer the Biscuits

Pop open your biscuit can (bracing for the pop, of course), and cut each biscuit in half horizontally so you have thinner rounds. Layer half of them in the bottom of the dish—kind of like building a lasagna, but fluffier.

Add the Roast Beef and Cheese

Layer on the roast beef slices, followed by provolone cheese. Be generous—you want a little meat and cheese in every bite.

Finish with the Rest of the Biscuits

Top it all with the remaining biscuit halves. It might look rustic and uneven, and that’s totally okay. It’ll all puff up together.

Pour the Buttery Goodness

Melt some butter with garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour that all over the top—this is the flavor bomb that makes it feel French dip-y.

Bake Until Golden

Pop the dish in the oven and bake for about 30–35 minutes, or until those biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

Make a Quick Au Jus

While it’s baking, heat up some beef broth with a splash of Worcestershire sauce and a pinch of garlic powder. That’s your easy au jus—ready for dipping!

Expert Tips and Tricks

Want crispier biscuit tops? Brush them with butter halfway through baking
Use a serrated knife to cut the bake—it helps keep the layers neat
If using thicker deli roast beef, chop or tear it into smaller pieces so it layers better

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

Swap provolone for Swiss or mozzarella if that’s what you’ve got
Try using shredded rotisserie chicken for a whole new twist
Add sautéed onions or a bit of horseradish sauce for extra zip

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

This bake is hearty enough on its own, but if you want to round it out, serve it with a simple green salad tossed in balsamic vinaigrette or some roasted green beans. It also pairs well with crispy potato wedges or even coleslaw for a little crunch. And don’t skip the au jus—it’s the soul of the dish.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Let leftovers cool completely, then store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop a portion in the oven at 350°F until warmed through or microwave it for about 1–2 minutes. The au jus can be stored in a small jar and reheated on the stovetop or microwave.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble it, cover, and refrigerate for a few hours before baking. Just let it sit out at room temp for 15–20 minutes before popping it in the oven.

What kind of roast beef works best?
Thinly sliced deli roast beef works great, but leftover pot roast or homemade roast beef is even better if you’ve got it.

Do I have to use canned biscuits?
Nope! If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can use homemade biscuit dough. But canned keeps things quick and easy.

Is this freezer-friendly?
You can freeze baked leftovers, though the biscuits may lose a little texture. Reheat in the oven for best results.
