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 Sauce

  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and 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 evenly in the bottom of the baking dish, making sure to press the seams together to create a uniform layer without gaps.
  3. Add Filling: Evenly layer the deli-sliced roast beef over the dough base, then sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese evenly on top of the beef layer.
  4. Make Flavorful Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Drizzle this savory mixture evenly over the cheese layer to add a rich, flavorful topping.
  5. Top With Dough: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and lay it over the layered filling, pinching the seams together carefully to seal and create a smooth top crust.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Heat Broth: While baking, warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat to prepare the dipping sauce.
  8. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let the French Dip Squares cool slightly before cutting them into individual squares.
  9. Serve: Serve the squares warm alongside the heated beef broth for dipping, and enjoy this savory, melty treat!

Notes

  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella for a different flavor.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth if you want to reduce the salt content.
  • For an extra kick, add a dash of hot sauce to the dipping broth.
  • Make sure to press the crescent rolls’ seams firmly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • These squares are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but can be reheated in the oven for crispiness.
