Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound deli roast beef, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces Mozzarella string cheese, cut in half
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 packet (1 ounce) Au Jus mix
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the crescents.
- Prepare Crescents: Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 individual triangles. Place two slices of roast beef and one half piece of string cheese on each triangle.
- Roll and Bake: Roll up each crescent starting at the wide end, encasing the beef and cheese inside. Arrange the rolled crescents on a baking sheet and bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until they turn golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Make Au Jus Sauce: While the crescents are baking, prepare the Au Jus dipping sauce according to the instructions on the packet.
- Serve: Serve the warm French Dip Crescents alongside the Au Jus sauce for dipping and enjoy.
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella string cheese with sliced provolone or Swiss cheese if preferred.
- For a crispier bottom crust, place the baking sheet on the lower rack in the oven.
- Make sure to slice the roast beef thinly for easy rolling and better texture.
- This recipe can be doubled or halved depending on the number of servings needed.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness rather than the microwave.
