Ingredients Needed and Variations
Crescent rolls – Grab a container of crescent rolls in the refrigerated section at the store. These offer a pillow-y bread that makes these sandwiches a quick prep.
Roast Beef – I used deli roast beef, but if you happen to have leftover roast beef from dinner the night before you could use that as well.
Cheese – To make it easy I reach for string cheese that I cut in half. You could also use shredded cheese if you don’t have string cheese.
Au Jus Mix – Go ahead and whip up a batch of au jus for dipping your hot French dip crescents in.
How to Make
The full directions are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a visual walk through with images on how to make crescent roll French Dips.
Prep you baking dish and preheat the oven. Then unravel and separate the crescent rolls.
Place meat on the roll and add a string cheese and roll it up.
Bake until the crescent rolls are golden and fully cooked. Before the crescents are done create your au jus sauce by following directions on the packet.
Once done pair with sauce to dip and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
You can store your leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Then when you want reheat in the oven or even microwave. If you don’t eat warm you will find the cheese is chewy since it is a string cheese in it.
The au jus can be stored in a separate container in the fridge as well. Then warm up in the stove or microwave as well.
