Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Au Jus
- 1 1/2 lbs. Hormel beef roast (for au jus and shredded beef)
Biscuits and Topping
- 16 oz. can Pillsbury biscuit dough
- 8 oz. provolone cheese slices
Garlic Butter
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare Beef Roast: Place the beef roast into a Crock-Pot set on high to heat and shred the beef while allowing the au jus to develop. This slow warming tenderizes the meat and prepares it for the sandwich filling.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Tray: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking tray to bake the biscuits.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder. Use a pastry brush to apply this flavorful butter mixture to the biscuits before baking.
- Bake Biscuits: Arrange the Pillsbury biscuit dough evenly spaced in the 9×13 inch tray. Brush the tops of each biscuit generously with the garlic butter mixture. Bake in the preheated oven until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 12-15 minutes.
- Assemble Biscuits: Once baked, cut each biscuit in half horizontally using a paring knife. Layer the bottom halves with shredded beef heated from the Crock-Pot, then top with slices of provolone cheese.
- Bake Again: Return the assembled biscuit bottoms topped with beef and cheese to the oven. Bake until the cheese has melted, become bubbly, and slightly golden, usually 5-7 minutes.
- Serve: Place the biscuit tops back on each sandwich. Serve warm with the au jus from the Crock-Pot on the side for dipping, offering a deliciously savory and juicy complement to the cheesy beef biscuits.
Notes
- For best results, use a high-quality beef roast to create rich au jus.
- Make sure biscuits are spaced apart evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Feel free to substitute provolone with mozzarella or Swiss cheese if preferred.
- Keep the Crock-Pot on warm to maintain the au jus temperature while baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
