Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cans of 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
  • 1 cup beef broth (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: 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. Prepare Base Layer: Roll out one can of crescent rolls directly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, making sure to press any seams together so they form an even, continuous layer.
  3. Add Filling: Evenly layer the deli-sliced roast beef over the crescent roll dough. Then evenly sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese over the roast beef to create a delicious, melty filling.
  4. Prepare Onion Soup Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  5. Layer Sauce: Drizzle the onion soup mixture evenly over the cheese layer, ensuring every part is coated with this flavorful topping.
  6. Top with Second Dough Layer: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and gently place it over the beef and cheese layers. Press the seams together carefully to create a smooth, sealed top layer.
  7. Bake: Place the assembled baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Heat Broth: While the squares are baking, warm the beef broth on the stovetop over medium heat until hot, for serving as a dipping sauce.
  9. Cool and Cut: Remove the dish from the oven and let the French Dip Squares cool slightly to allow easier cutting. Then slice into individual squares.
  10. Serve: Serve the squares warm alongside small bowls of the heated beef broth for dipping and enjoy this flavorful, comforting snack.

Notes

  • Use good quality deli roast beef for the best flavor.
  • Swiss cheese melts well, but you can substitute with provolone or mozzarella if preferred.
  • Be sure to press seams of crescent dough firmly to prevent leakage during baking.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • If you want a spicier dip, add a dash of hot sauce to the beef broth.
