Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls

Filling

  • 1/2 pound deli-sliced roast beef
  • 1 cup grated Swiss cheese

Sauce & Topping

  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Base Dough: Roll out one can of crescent rolls evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Press any seams together to create a uniform layer that will serve as the base.
  3. Add Filling: Evenly layer the deli-sliced roast beef over the dough base, followed by sprinkling the grated Swiss cheese on top of the meat for a rich, melty middle layer.
  4. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until well combined, then drizzle this mixture evenly over the cheese layer to infuse the dish with robust savory flavors.
  5. Top with Dough: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and carefully place it over the beef and cheese layers. Pinch the seams together to create a smooth, sealed top layer to encase the filling.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough turns golden brown and is fully cooked through.
  7. Heat Broth: While the squares are baking, warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat. This warmed broth will serve as the dipping sauce, enhancing every bite.
  8. Cool and Cut: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Then cut into individual squares for easy serving.
  9. Serve: Serve the French Dip Squares warm with the heated beef broth on the side for dipping. Enjoy this hearty, comforting dish as a flavorful appetizer or main course.

Notes

  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, add a few dashes of hot sauce to the dipping broth.
  • If crescent rolls are not available, puff pastry dough can be a good alternative.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet or microwave, but are best enjoyed fresh.
  • Adjust the amount of onion soup mix or garlic powder to taste for preferred seasoning intensity.
