Ingredients

Scale

Base and 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

Dip

  • 1 cup beef broth (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prepare for the crescent roll layers.
  2. Layer Base: Roll out one can of crescent rolls evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing the seams together to form a solid layer as the base.
  3. Add Filling: Evenly layer the deli-sliced roast beef over the crescent dough, followed by sprinkling the grated Swiss cheese on top of the beef.
  4. Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the dry onion soup mix, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Drizzle this flavorful mixture evenly over the cheese layer to enhance the taste.
  5. Top with Dough: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and place it over the filling layers. Pinch the seams together carefully to create a smooth, sealed top layer.
  6. Bake: Bake the assembled dish in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls turn a golden brown and are fully cooked through.
  7. Heat Broth: While the squares bake, warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat to prepare the dipping sauce.
  8. Cool and Cut: After baking, allow the French Dip Squares to cool slightly before cutting them into evenly sized squares for serving.
  9. Serve: Serve the warm French Dip Squares along with the heated beef broth dip, inviting guests to enjoy the classic French dip flavors with every bite.

Notes

  • Use good quality deli roast beef for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Make sure to pinch the crescent roll seams thoroughly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
  • If you prefer, substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella for a different cheese flavor.
  • Warming the beef broth gently ensures it remains hot without boiling off too much liquid.
  • These squares are perfect served fresh but can be reheated in a low oven to retain crispness.
