Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
Prepare Biscuits: Separate the biscuit dough and split each biscuit in half horizontally. Gently flatten each half into a circle about 3 inches in diameter to create the biscuit bases and tops.
Assemble Biscuits: Spread a thin layer of creamy horseradish sauce onto the bottom halves of the biscuits for a subtle kick of flavor, if desired.
Add Filling: Layer slices of roast beef and pieces of provolone cheese onto each biscuit bottom to ensure every bite is rich and cheesy.
Seal Biscuits: Place the remaining biscuit halves on top of the filled bottoms and gently press the edges together to seal the biscuits, preventing filling leakage during baking.
Brush with Butter: Brush the tops of the assembled biscuits with melted butter to promote golden, crispy tops as they bake.
Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Prepare Au Jus: While the biscuits are baking, prepare the au jus dipping sauce by mixing the au jus gravy packet with water according to the package instructions. Heat until hot and ready for serving.
Serve: Serve the warm baked French Dip Biscuits alongside the prepared au jus for dipping, providing a delicious and savory dining experience.

Notes

You can substitute provolone with Swiss or mozzarella cheese for a different flavor profile.
For extra flavor, add caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms to the filling.
If you prefer a spicier dip, increase the amount of horseradish sauce or use a spicy variety.
Ensure edges are sealed well before baking to avoid cheese leakage.
Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
