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
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the filling: Evenly distribute the deli-sliced roast beef over the dough layer, then sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese evenly on top.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Heat the broth: While baking, warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat to prepare the dipping sauce.
- Cool and cut: Once baked, let the French Dip Squares cool slightly to set, then cut into serving-size squares.
- 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.
