Savory Beef and Cheese Biscuit Delights
Ingredients
Biscuits:
- 1 (16.3 oz) can refrigerated biscuits (8-count)
- 8 slices deli roast beef
- 8 slices provolone or Swiss cheese
Au Jus Dip:
- 1 (10.5 oz) can beef consommé or beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
Optional Garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley
Construction
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin.
- Assemble the Biscuits:
- Place a slice of roast beef and a slice of cheese in the center of each biscuit.
- Fold the biscuit dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal completely.
- Bake the Biscuits:
- Place the sealed biscuits on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
- Prepare the Au Jus Dip:
- While the biscuits bake, combine beef consommé, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, and soy sauce (if using) in a small saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat until simmering. Reduce heat and keep warm.
- Serve:
- Remove biscuits from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Serve warm with a side of the prepared au jus for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Variations
- Cheesy Twist: Add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar or mozzarella inside the biscuits for extra cheesiness.
- Spicy Kick: Add a dollop of horseradish sauce or a slice of jalapeño to the filling.
- Garlic Butter Finish: Brush the tops of the baked biscuits with melted garlic butter for added flavor.
- Vegetarian Option: Substitute roast beef with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
Tips
- Sealing the Biscuits: Ensure the edges are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Serving Size: Double the recipe for a larger crowd or as a party appetizer.
- Broiler Option: For a crispier top, broil the biscuits for 1-2 minutes after baking.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
