French Dip Squares are a delicious twist on the classic French dip sandwich, featuring layers of roast beef and Swiss cheese sandwiched between buttery crescent roll dough, baked to golden perfection. Served with warm beef broth for dipping, this appetizer or snack is perfect for parties or casual gatherings.

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

Dipping

  • 1 cup beef broth (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the 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: Roll out one can of crescent rolls evenly in the bottom of the baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a solid, even layer.
  3. Add the Filling: Evenly layer deli-sliced roast beef over the crescent roll dough, followed by a generous sprinkling of grated Swiss cheese.
  4. Prepare the Sauce Mixture: 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.
  5. Top with Dough: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and place it over the layered beef and cheese, pinching seams together to create a smooth, sealed top layer.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  7. Heat the Broth: While the squares are baking, warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat to serve as a steaming, savory dipping sauce.
  8. Cool and Cut: After baking, allow the French Dip Squares to cool slightly to set, then cut into squares for serving.
  9. Serve: Serve the squares warm alongside the heated beef broth for dipping and enjoy this hearty, flavorful appetizer.

Notes

  • Make sure to press the crescent roll dough seams firmly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to easily cut the squares without squishing the layers.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a small amount of horseradish to the beef broth dip.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated, but dipping sauce is best warmed fresh.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings by using two baking dishes.
