Ingredients
Biscuit and Topping
- 16 oz. can Pillsbury biscuit dough
- 8 oz. provolone cheese slices (approximately 6 slices)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Beef and Au Jus
- 1 1/2 lbs. Hormel beef roast, shredded
Instructions
- Prepare Beef and Au Jus: Place the 1 1/2 pounds of shredded Hormel beef roast in a crock pot on high heat to warm the beef and au jus while you prepare the biscuits.
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350º F (175º C) and line a 9x13-inch baking tray for the biscuit bake.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of melted butter with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Use a pastry brush to mix and set aside for brushing the biscuits.
- Bake Biscuits: Arrange the biscuit dough evenly spaced in the 9x13 tray. Brush each biscuit generously with the garlic butter mixture. Bake in the oven until the biscuits are golden brown, approximately 12-15 minutes.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Once the biscuits are baked, carefully cut each biscuit in half using a paring knife. On the bottom half of each biscuit, layer shredded beef generously, then place 6 slices of provolone cheese over the beef.
- Final Bake: Return the assembled biscuits with beef and cheese to the oven. Bake until the provolone cheese is bubbly and golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve: Place the biscuit tops on each sandwich and serve immediately with the warmed au jus from the crock pot for dipping.
Notes
- Use pre-shredded beef roast heated in the crock pot for convenience and rich flavor.
- Basting the biscuits with garlic butter before baking adds extra savory flavor and helps achieve a golden crust.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add extra garlic powder or fresh minced garlic to the butter mixture.
- Serve the au jus warm for the best dipping experience.
