Comfort food has a way of bringing people together, and there’s something truly special about a dish that combines the heartiness of a French dip sandwich with the buttery goodness of freshly baked biscuits. Baked French Dip Biscuits are my take on this classic, perfect for everything from a cozy weekend meal to a quick and satisfying weeknight dinner. Growing up in the Midwest, Sunday dinners were always a time for family to gather around the table, sharing stories and delicious food. These biscuits instantly transport me back to those warm, comforting meals, and I’m excited to share them with you.
The magic of these biscuits lies in their simplicity. You get the rich, savory flavor of roast beef and melted cheese, all tucked inside a soft, buttery biscuit that’s baked to golden perfection. The best part? They’re incredibly easy to make, so even if you’ve had a long, busy day, you can still serve up something delicious without much fuss. Whether you’re hosting friends, feeding the family, or just treating yourself, these biscuits are sure to become a crowd-pleaser.
These Baked French Dip Biscuits pair perfectly with a crisp green salad or roasted vegetables. If you’re craving indulgence, serve them alongside crispy fries or onion rings. For a lighter, more refreshing option, a bowl of vegetable soup or a fruit salad would complement the richness of the biscuits. And of course, don’t forget the essential au jus for dipping!

- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Separate the biscuit dough into 8 biscuits and flatten each one slightly with your hands.

- Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the biscuits.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the biscuits are baking, heat the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm.
- Serve the biscuits warm with the beef broth on the side for dipping.
Variations & Tips
- For an extra kick, add a slice of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce inside each biscuit before sealing.
- Experiment with different cheeses such as Swiss or cheddar for a unique flavor twist.
- For a vegetarian option, replace the roast beef with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
- To save time, you can prepare the biscuits ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
Nutritional Insights & Dietary Considerations
These Baked French Dip Biscuits offer a comforting combination of protein from the roast beef and calcium from the provolone cheese. The buttery biscuit dough contributes a satisfying richness, while the Worcestershire sauce and herbs add depth of flavor.
