French Dip Squares are a delicious, easy-to-make appetizer featuring layers of savory roast beef and Swiss cheese sandwiched between buttery crescent roll dough, topped with a flavorful onion soup mix butter sauce. Baked until golden and served with warm beef broth for dipping, these squares offer all the comforting flavors of a classic French dip sandwich in a fun, bite-sized form perfect for parties or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the base: Roll out one can of crescent rolls evenly in the bottom of the baking dish, pressing any seams together carefully to create a smooth, unified dough layer.
  3. Add the filling: Evenly layer the deli-sliced roast beef over the dough base, then sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese uniformly on top of the beef.
  4. Prepare the 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 Swiss cheese layer.
  5. Top with dough: Roll out the second can of crescent rolls and place it over the beef and cheese layers, pinching the seams together well to seal and form a smooth, cohesive top layer.
  6. Bake: Place the assembled 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 the broth: While the French Dip Squares bake, warm the beef broth in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot, to serve as the dipping sauce.
  8. Cool and cut: Remove the baked squares from the oven and let them cool slightly to set, then cut into individual squares using a sharp knife.
  9. Serve: Serve the warm French Dip Squares with your heated beef broth on the side for dipping, and enjoy this savory, comforting snack or appetizer!

Notes

  • You can substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella for a milder flavor variation.
  • For extra moisture, brush the top of the dough with a little melted butter before baking.
  • If desired, add caramelized onions for more sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • Be sure to pinch seams of crescent rolls tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out while baking.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth if you prefer a less salty dipping sauce.
  • These squares are best served warm, as the beef broth dipping sauce enhances the flavor when hot.
