French Dip Squares are a savory and comforting appetizer featuring layers of flaky crescent roll dough, tender roast beef, Swiss cheese, and a rich onion soup sauce. Baked until golden and served with warm beef broth for dipping, these squares offer a delicious twist on the classic French dip sandwich in a convenient, shareable form.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls

Filling

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

Sauce

  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Dipping Broth

  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat 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 Dough: Unroll one can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the baking dish, sealing any seams together to create an even, continuous layer.
  3. Add Roast Beef and Cheese: Spread the deli-sliced roast beef evenly over the dough layer, then sprinkle grated Swiss cheese on top to cover the beef.
  4. Prepare and Drizzle 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 add richness and depth of flavor.
  5. Top with Second Dough Layer: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and place it carefully over the beef and cheese layers. Pinch the seams together to seal and create a smooth top crust.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Heat the Broth: While the squares bake, warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat until hot but not boiling, to serve as a dipping sauce.
  8. Cool and Cut: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly to set. Cut into squares for easy serving.
  9. Serve: Serve the French Dip Squares warm with the heated beef broth on the side for dipping and enjoy this deliciously handheld comfort food!

Notes

  • You can substitute roast beef with thinly sliced turkey or ham for a different flavor.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels if desired.
  • If you prefer a sharper cheese, try using Gruyère instead of Swiss.
  • For easier cutting, let the squares rest for 5-10 minutes after baking.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
