Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls

Filling

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

Sauce Mix

  • 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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the base dough: Roll out one can of crescent rolls along the bottom of the baking dish, pressing the seams together to create an even, continuous layer as the base.
  3. Add the filling: Evenly layer the deli-sliced roast beef over the dough, then sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese evenly on top of the beef.
  4. Prepare the sauce mixture: In a small bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well, then drizzle this mixture evenly over the cheese layer to add rich flavor.
  5. Top with dough: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and carefully place it over the filling, pinching and sealing the seams together to form a smooth top layer.
  6. Bake the squares: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough turns golden brown and fully cooked through.
  7. Heat the broth: While the squares are baking, gently warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat to serve as a dipping sauce.
  8. Cool and cut: After baking, allow the French Dip Squares to cool slightly to set, then cut into squares for serving.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Serve the squares warm alongside the heated beef broth for dipping. Enjoy this savory and comforting appetizer or snack!

Notes

  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella for different flavor profiles.
  • For a more intense beef flavor, use low-sodium beef broth.
  • To save time, prepare the sauce mixture ahead and store in the fridge.
  • Ensure to seal the crescent roll seams well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • The squares can be reheated in the oven or microwave, but are best served fresh.
