Description

French Dip Squares are a delicious and fun twist on the classic French Dip sandwich. Made with buttery crescent roll dough, layers of tender deli-sliced roast beef, and melty Swiss cheese, these squares are topped with a flavorful butter mixture of dry onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Baked until golden brown and served with warm beef broth for dipping, this easy-to-make dish is perfect for parties, appetizers, or casual family dinners.


Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls

Filling

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

Sauce Mixture

  • 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: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the base: Roll out one can of crescent rolls directly in the baking dish, pressing seams together to form a smooth, even bottom layer.
  3. Add the filling: Evenly distribute the deli-sliced roast beef over the dough layer, then sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese evenly on top.
  4. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Drizzle this flavorful mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  5. Top with dough: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and place it over the beef and cheese layers. Pinch seams together to create a smooth, sealed top layer.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Heat the broth: While baking, warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat to prepare the dipping sauce.
  8. Cool and cut: Once baked, let the French Dip Squares cool slightly to set, then cut into serving-size squares.
  9. Serve: Serve the squares warm alongside the heated beef broth for dipping, and enjoy this comforting dish.

Notes

  • These French Dip Squares are perfect as appetizers or casual meals.
  • For extra flavor, try adding caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms to the beef layer.
  • If you like a spicy kick, mix in some horseradish or Dijon mustard with the roast beef before layering.
