Ingredients

  • 1 can of Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls (is there any other kind?)
  • ½ pound of provolone cheese, sliced
  • ½ pound of roast beef, sliced
  • 1 packet of au jus gravy mix

You can find all of these items at your local grocer. Pre-packaged cheese and meat work just fine, and you can find an au jus mix packet in the spices and seasoning aisle. These are usually no more than $1 or so.

Directions

  1. To begin, grease a cookie sheet and set it aside.
  2. On a clean workspace, unroll the crescent roll dough. Break them apart as you would if you were making them as intended.
  3. Cut the provolone into small triangles. Place a triangle on each crescent.
  4. Take a piece of roast beef and roll it up tight. Place it on top of the cheese.
  5. Now, you need to close up the dough around the fillings. You can do this by rolling up the crescent and then pinching the sides closed. There will be some of the filling that shows or leaks out, but that is not a problem.
  6. Place each puff on the cookie sheet and bake according to directions on the crescent packaging. This will typically be at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
  7. While your puffs are baking, prepare the au jus according to package directions.

Why are French Dip Crescent Rolls Popular?

There are many reasons why French Dip Crescent Rolls are such a popular appetizer. 

  • Delicious Flavor Combination: The combination of salty roast beef, melty cheese, and buttery flaky crescent dough is a crowd-pleaser. It hits multiple flavor notes that appeal to many palates. The au jus dipping sauce adds another layer of savory flavor and richness, while also offering a contrasting texture and temperature to the warm rolls.
  • Ease of Preparation: They require only a few readily available ingredients like pre-made crescent dough, deli roast beef, cheese, and au jus (homemade or store-bought). Assembling the individual rolls is quick and easy, making them ideal for busy cooks or last-minute gatherings. The basic recipe is easily customizable with different cheeses, herbs, spreads, or even leftover meats.
  • Versatility: The richness and savory flavors cater to many preferences, making them a safe bet for parties with diverse guests. They can be assembled and refrigerated until ready to bake, saving time and stress on the day of the event. They're individual-sized and easy to hold, making them perfect for mingling and casual gatherings.
  • Additional factors: For some, the combination of ingredients might evoke childhood memories of comfort food, adding to their appeal. The golden brown crescents with melted cheese are visually attractive and mouthwatering.
