Ideal for a quick snack, a hearty appetizer, or even a fun twist on lunch, these biscuits are sure to satisfy your cravings. Let’s start by gathering the ingredients you’ll need to create these irresistible treats.
INGREDIENTS
- Refrigerated Biscuits: 1 (16.3-oz) can, providing a flaky and golden base for these savory pockets.
- Thinly Sliced Deli Roast Beef: 1 pound, bringing tender, flavorful meat into each bite.
- Creamy Horseradish Sauce: 2 tablespoons, or to taste, adding a bit of tangy heat that complements the roast beef.
- Provolone Cheese: 8 slices, offering a smooth and melty texture that pairs perfectly with the beef.
- Au Jus Gravy Mix: 1 (1-oz) packet, to prepare a rich and flavorful dipping sauce that enhances the overall experience.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: Assemble the Biscuits
- Separate each biscuit from the can into two layers.
- Spread a thin layer of creamy horseradish sauce on each biscuit layer.
- On the bottom half of each biscuit layer, place a slice of provolone cheese followed by a portion of thinly sliced deli roast beef.
- Top the meat and cheese with the remaining biscuit layer, then carefully pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside.
- Step 3: Bake the Biscuits
- Place the assembled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed up.
- Step 4: Prepare the Au Jus Gravy
- While the biscuits are baking, prepare the Au Jus Gravy mix according to the package instructions. This will typically involve whisking the gravy mix with water and bringing it to a simmer until thickened.
- Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once the biscuits are baked to a golden brown, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Serve the biscuits hot, with the prepared Au Jus Gravy on the side for dipping.
Serving and Storage Tips
These Deliciously Savory Beef and Cheese Biscuits are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still melty and the biscuits are golden and flaky. Pair them with the warm Au Jus Gravy for dipping, adding an extra layer of flavor to each bite. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through and crispy again.
Helpful Notes
If you prefer a spicier kick, try adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to the horseradish sauce before assembling the biscuits. For an extra layer of flavor, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter before baking. This will give them a rich, buttery finish.
You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as Swiss or cheddar, to switch up the flavor profile. If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked roast beef from your local deli to speed up the preparation process.
