Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cans of 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

Dip

  • 1 cup beef broth (for dipping)

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 in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing the seams together to create an even, solid layer.
  3. Add the filling: Evenly distribute the deli-sliced roast beef over the dough base, then sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese on top of the beef for a rich, melty layer.
  4. Prepare and drizzle 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 to enhance the taste.
  5. Top with second dough layer: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and place it gently over the beef and cheese layers. Pinch the seams together to create a smooth, unified top crust.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and fully cooked through.
  7. Heat the dipping broth: While the squares bake, warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat until hot, to be served alongside the baked squares.
  8. Cool and cut: After baking, allow the French Dip Squares to cool slightly so they set. Then, cut them into individual squares for serving.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Serve the squares warm with the heated beef broth on the side, perfect for dipping and enjoying the classic French Dip flavors in every bite.

Notes

  • Press the crescent roll seams firmly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • For extra flavor, you can use freshly grated Swiss cheese instead of pre-grated.
  • The beef broth can be substituted with au jus sauce for a more authentic French Dip experience.
  • Make sure to warm the beef broth well before serving for optimal dipping.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.
