Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cans Refrigerated Crescent Rolls
Filling
- 12 ounces Deli Roast Beef, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces Swiss Cheese, grated
Sauce & Topping
- 1 packet Dry Onion Soup Mix
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
Dipping Broth
- 2 cups Beef Broth, warmed
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or spray your baking dish with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough Layer: Unroll one can of crescent rolls and press the dough into the bottom of the baking dish, carefully pressing seams together to create an even base layer.
- Layer Filling: Evenly spread the thinly sliced deli roast beef over the dough layer, then sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese on top to cover the meat completely.
- Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the dry onion soup mix, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Drizzle this flavorful mixture evenly over the cheese layer for a rich, savory topping.
- Top with Remaining Dough: Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and carefully cover the filling with this dough, pinching the seams tightly to seal the layers and keep all fillings inside during baking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed.
- Warm Broth: While baking, gently heat the beef broth on the stovetop until warm; this will serve as a dipping sauce for the squares.
- Cool & Cut: Once baked, allow the squares to cool for 5-10 minutes to set, then cut into individual squares for serving accompanied by warm beef broth for dipping.
Notes
- For best results, use thinly sliced deli roast beef to ensure even layering and quick reheating.
- You can substitute Swiss cheese with provolone or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the onion soup mixture.
- Make sure the beef broth is warm for optimal dipping experience; avoid overheating or boiling.
- These squares are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes if needed.
