Ingredients
Biscuit Layer
- 16 oz. can Pillsbury biscuit dough
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Filling
- 1 1/2 lbs. Hormel beef roast, shredded
- 8 oz. provolone cheese slices (6 slices)
- Au jus from beef roast
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Add the 1 1/2 lbs. shredded Hormel beef roast and its au jus to a crock pot set on high to heat thoroughly while you prepare the biscuits.
- Preheat oven and prepare tray: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C) and lightly grease or prepare a 9×13 inch baking tray for the biscuits.
- Mix garlic butter: Combine the melted butter with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and set aside. Use a pastry brush to apply this mixture onto the biscuits before baking.
- Bake biscuits: Place the biscuits evenly spaced in the prepared 9×13 tray. Brush the tops of each biscuit generously with the garlic butter mixture. Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
- Assemble biscuit bake: Once the biscuits are baked, carefully cut each biscuit in half horizontally with a paring knife. Layer the bottom halves with the warm shredded beef from the crock pot, then top with provolone cheese slices (use all 6 slices evenly distributed).
- Bake with cheese: Return the assembled biscuits to the oven and bake until the provolone cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden, about 7-10 minutes.
- Serve: Place the biscuit tops back on each biscuit. Serve the French Dip Biscuit Bake warm with the au jus from the crock pot for dipping.
Notes
- You can use a slow cooker to warm the beef overnight or throughout the day before assembling the biscuit bake.
- For extra garlic flavor, add minced fresh garlic to the butter mixture.
- If desired, use a mix of cheeses such as mozzarella or Swiss with the provolone for variation.
- This recipe works well as a hearty appetizer or a main dish for a casual gathering.
- Make sure to shred the beef finely for easier assembly and eating.
