Ingredients

Easy Grocery List for French Dip Biscuit Muffins — All you need: biscuit dough, roast beef, cheese, and a muffin tin! 🧀🥩 These Baked French Dip Biscuits come together with just a few pantry staples—perfect for busy nights or game-day snacks!

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 can (8-count) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
8 slices deli roast beef (thinly sliced)
4 slices provolone cheese, cut in half
1 tablespoon butter (optional, for brushing)
1 packet au jus gravy mix
2 cups water (for the au jus)
Optional: garlic powder or Italian seasoning for extra flavor

Instructions

These Baked French Dip Biscuits come together in a snap and bake up beautifully golden and gooey. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a fun party snack, they’re a no-fuss way to enjoy all the goodness of a French dip sandwich—in biscuit form!

Step-by-step instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin (8 cups).
Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to make a 4-inch round.
Layer the filling: Place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center of each dough round, top with one slice of roast beef (folded), and add the other half of the cheese slice on top.
Pinch and seal the biscuit edges around the filling to form a ball. Place seam-side down into the muffin tin cups.
Optional: Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and biscuits are cooked through.
While baking, prepare the au jus according to the package directions (usually just whisking the mix into hot water and simmering for a few minutes).
Serve warm with small bowls of au jus for dipping. Prepare to dip, bite, and swoon!

Tips and Variations

Want to switch things up or add a little flair? Here are some easy tips and tasty variations to make these biscuits your own:

Tips:

Don’t overfill the biscuits—just a slice or two of roast beef and cheese is plenty to avoid overflow.
Seal tightly! Make sure the biscuit dough is pinched closed so the cheese doesn’t leak out while baking.
Use parchment liners if you’re worried about sticking or cleanup.

Tasty Variations:

Cheese swap: Try Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar if you don’t have provolone.
Add onions: Caramelized onions inside the biscuit take these to the next level!
Garlic butter glaze: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley, and brush over the tops after baking.
Make it spicy: Add a slice of pepper jack or a few banana peppers inside for a kick.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Thinly sliced deli roast beef works best. You can also use leftover homemade roast beef—just slice it thin!

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

What’s the best cheese for this recipe?

Provolone is classic, but Swiss, mozzarella, or even gouda would be delicious.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Sure! Swap the roast beef for sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions and use veggie broth to make a meatless au jus.

Do I have to use a muffin tin?

It helps the biscuits keep their shape, but you can also bake them on a parchment-lined baking sheet—just space them well.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, just grab a second can of biscuit dough and bake in batches or use two muffin tins.
