French Dip Squares are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer featuring layers of buttery crescent roll dough, savory deli-sliced roast beef, and melted Swiss cheese, all topped with a flavorful onion soup mixture. Baked to golden perfection and served with warm beef broth for dipping, these squares combine the essence of the classic French dip sandwich into a convenient party snack or quick meal.

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

Dipping Sauce

  • 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 in the bottom of the baking dish, pressing any seams together to create an even, firm dough layer.
  3. Add Filling: Evenly layer the deli-sliced roast beef over the crescent roll dough, followed by a generous sprinkling of grated Swiss cheese on top of the beef for a rich flavor.
  4. Mix and Drizzle Sauce: 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 to enhance the taste and moisture.
  5. Top with Dough: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and place it carefully over the beef and cheese layers. Pinch the seams together to seal and form a smooth top dough layer.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  7. Heat Broth: While the squares bake, warm the beef broth in a small pot over medium heat to serve as a warm dipping sauce.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the French Dip Squares from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut into squares and serve alongside warm beef broth for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure that the crescent roll dough seams are pressed firmly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • For extra flavor, you can add caramelized onions or horseradish sauce to the filling layers.
  • Leftover squares can be reheated in a microwave or oven, but are best served fresh.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth to reduce salt content if desired.
  • These squares pair well with a side of pickles or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
