Ingredients You’ll Need

It’s amazing how just a handful of familiar ingredients can transform into something so special! For Baked French Dip Biscuits, every element—from the flaky dough to the deeply flavored au jus—plays a starring role in making each bite irresistible.

Refrigerated biscuit dough: These ready-to-bake biscuits are the secret shortcut, making the biscuit cups fluffy, golden, and absolutely foolproof for bakers of any skill level.
Deli roast beef: Savory, thinly sliced roast beef brings hearty, juicy flavor that’s classic for a French dip.
Provolone cheese: Provolone melts into creamy perfection, giving each bite a gooey, cheesy pull.
Butter: A brush of melted butter ensures rich flavor and helps the tops brown up beautifully.
Garlic powder: This gives a gentle punch of garlicky aroma to both the biscuits and the dipping sauce.
Dried parsley: An easy sprinkle that adds a pop of color and a whisper of herbaceous freshness.
Beef broth: Forms the beefy backbone of the homemade au jus for dipping, bringing everything together.
Worcestershire sauce: Boosts the broth with deep, umami savoriness—it’s the secret to classic French dip flavor.
Onion powder: Adds subtle, sweet onion notes to the au jus without any chopping required.
Black pepper: Just a pinch rounds out the broth with gentle warmth.

How to Make Baked French Dip Biscuits

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Muffin Tin

Get started by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin—this helps the biscuit cups release perfectly golden and intact. Using a muffin tin gives Baked French Dip Biscuits that fun, hearty individual size everyone loves!

Step 2: Shape the Biscuits

Gently flatten each piece of refrigerated biscuit dough with your hands, just enough to make it a bit wider. Press each circle into your muffin cups to form a little well for the fillings. Don’t worry if they look rustic; that’s part of their charm.

Step 3: Layer in the Roast Beef and Provolone

Now for the magic—fold a slice of deli roast beef and tuck it into each biscuit cup, then add a half-slice of provolone cheese on top. The cheese melts beautifully over the beef, locking all the juicy flavor inside!

Step 4: Tuck and Top

Fold any overhanging biscuit edges over the filling just a bit, leaving the cheesy center peeking through. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley, then use a pastry brush to coat the tops of each biscuit. This step makes everything golden and aromatic out of the oven.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake your biscuit cups for 15–18 minutes, or until they’re puffed, golden brown, and cooked through. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes—there’s nothing better than that buttery, toasty finish!

Step 6: Make the Quick Au Jus

While your biscuit cups bake, prepare the dipping sauce that sets Baked French Dip Biscuits apart. In a small saucepan, combine beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and a pinch of black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5–7 minutes; you want a deeply savory broth that’s ready for dunking.

Step 7: Serve and Dip!

Pull your Baked French Dip Biscuits out of the oven and let them cool just a minute or two before removing from the tin. Serve piping hot with a side of warm au jus for the ultimate cheesy, beefy dunk!

How to Serve Baked French Dip Biscuits

Garnishes

A simple sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or a dusting of cracked black pepper right after baking instantly brightens up your Baked French Dip Biscuits and makes them party-ready. For extra indulgence, try a little grated parmesan or even some caramelized onions spooned over each biscuit cup.

Side Dishes

These hearty biscuit cups pair up beautifully with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or classic steak fries. If you want something lighter, go for a tangy vinaigrette-dressed slaw or marinated tomatoes—the fresh contrast lets the rich flavors of the biscuits and au jus shine.

Creative Ways to Present

For the ultimate appetizer spread, arrange your Baked French Dip Biscuits on a big board with ramekins of au jus front and center. Or go family-style and let everyone pull biscuit cups right from the tin at the table—kids and adults both love a hands-on meal! For parties, serve with cute toothpicks and tiny cups of au jus for easy single-serve dipping.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftover Baked French Dip Biscuits (rare, but it happens!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the au jus separate to prevent the biscuits from getting soggy.

Freezing

These biscuit cups actually freeze quite well! Wrap each one individually in plastic wrap or foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Freeze the cooled au jus separately in a small airtight container.

Reheating

To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen, then pop the biscuits in a 325°F (165°C) oven for about 10–12 minutes, or until heated through. Warm the au jus gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Avoid microwaving the biscuits alone, which can make them a bit chewy.

FAQs

Can I use a different cheese for these biscuit cups?

Absolutely! Swiss cheese melts perfectly and gives a nutty flavor, while mozzarella makes them extra gooey. Mix and match to make these Baked French Dip Biscuits your own.

Can I prepare these in advance for a party?

You can shape and fill the biscuit cups a few hours ahead, cover them with plastic wrap, and store in the fridge. Bake them just before serving for that fresh-from-the-oven magic.

What’s the best way to keep the biscuits crispy if not serving immediately?

Let the biscuits cool slightly in the muffin tin to firm up, then remove and set on a wire rack. This keeps the bottoms crisp if you’re holding them for guests or transporting.

Is homemade roast beef an option?

Absolutely! Thinly sliced leftover roast beef from a homemade roast adds even richer flavor. Just make sure it’s tender and not too thick to keep the texture just right inside your Baked French Dip Biscuits.

Can I add extras like onions or mushrooms?

Go for it! Sautéed onions or mushrooms tucked inside the biscuit cups are delicious and give you even more of that classic French dip flavor. Just keep the layers thin so the biscuits bake up light and fluffy.

Final Thoughts

I hope you’ll give these Baked French Dip Biscuits a try—there’s something so delightful about the mix of cheesy, savory filling and buttery biscuit, all ready for dunking in rich, homemade au jus. They’re a guaranteed hit for family meals and party tables alike, and once you taste them, I think you’ll agree: it’s impossible to stop at just one!
