How to Turn a French Dip Into the Ultimate Comfort Biscuit

Few flavors hit the comfort-food sweet spot quite like a French dip, but wrapping those familiar tastes inside warm, flaky biscuits takes things to another level. These French dip–style biscuits capture everything people love about the classic sandwich—savory beef, melted cheese, and rich dipping sauce—while turning it into an easy, hand-held dish. They’re perfect for relaxed dinners, casual gatherings, or game-day spreads when you want something hearty without extra fuss.

The process begins with simplicity. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet to keep cleanup easy. Refrigerated biscuits are sliced horizontally, instantly becoming sturdy little pockets ready for filling. A thin layer of creamy horseradish sauce adds depth and a gentle bite, enhancing the overall flavor without overpowering it. This step is flexible, making it easy to adjust based on how bold you want the seasoning to be.

Assembly is quick and approachable. A slice of provolone goes on the bottom half of each biscuit, followed by tender roast beef layered just enough to keep things balanced. The tops are placed back on and lightly pressed, sealing in the filling. After baking for about 12 to 15 minutes, the biscuits emerge golden and flaky, the cheese perfectly melted, and the filling warmed through, filling the kitchen with a savory, inviting aroma.

While the biscuits bake, a simple au jus comes together, ready for dipping as soon as they’re out of the oven. Served warm, these biscuits deliver the essence of a French dip in a fun, shareable format. Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or just want a comforting meal with minimal effort, this recipe offers a satisfying twist on a classic—easy to make, full of flavor, and guaranteed to disappear fast.
