Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 1 pound thinly sliced deli roast beef
- 2 tablespoons creamy horseradish sauce (optional, or to taste)
- 8 slices provolone cheese
- 1 (1-ounce) packet au jus gravy mix
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven and Prep the Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Separate the Biscuits: Carefully pull each biscuit apart into two equal layers to create a top and bottom for filling. This doubles your portions and helps the biscuits bake evenly.
- Assemble the Filling: Spread a small amount of horseradish sauce onto one side of each biscuit (if using). Place a slice of provolone cheese and a few slices of warm deli roast beef onto the bottom half of each biscuit.
- Seal the Biscuits: Gently lay the top biscuit half over the filling and press the edges around the sides to seal. It’s okay if some fillings peek out slightly—the cheese will help hold everything together as it bakes.
- Brush and Bake: Lightly brush the tops with melted butter for a golden finish. Bake the filled biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes or until the tops are deep golden brown and the cheese is visibly melted.
- Prepare the Au Jus: While the biscuits bake, prepare the au jus gravy according to package instructions. Keep it warm for dipping.
- Serve Warm: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving. Pair with individual dipping bowls of au jus and enjoy right away while the cheese is still gooey.
Notes
- You can substitute Swiss, cheddar, or mozzarella for the provolone cheese. For added flavor, caramelized onions make a delicious layer between the beef and cheese. If the biscuit dough seems underbaked after 15 minutes, cover with foil and bake for another 3–5 minutes. For a lighter version, use low-fat cheese or swap the beef for thin-sliced turkey.
