Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb deli roast beef roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt optional, taste before adding
  • 12 slices provolone cheese
  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuits 8-count

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 jar prepared au jus
  • chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F
  • Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, set aside
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, add the onion and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden
  • Add the garlic and flour and cook for 1 minute
    Chopped browned onions, minced garlic, and a mound of flour cooking together in a white skillet.
  • Slowly whisk in the beef broth until smooth
  • Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper
  • Simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly thickened
  • Add the chopped roast beef to the skillet and stir until coated in the gravy and heated through
    Slices of roast beef layered in a brown gravy or broth.
  • Taste for flavor and add more Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper
    Thinly sliced roast beef covered in a thick, brown gravy with visible bits of onion and seasoning.
  • Add the salt if needed, it may be salty enough at this point
  • Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish
  • Lay the provolone cheese slices over the top
    Overlapping slices of pale yellow provolone cheese arranged in a rectangular pattern.
  • Separate each biscuit in half horizontally to make thinner biscuit layers. Arrange them evenly over the cheese, covering most of the casserole

  • If using the prepared au jus warm it up in the last 10 minutes of baking, serve alongside the casserole if desired
  • sprinkle baked casserole with chopped parsley if desired
  • serve in big deep bowls or blates with a little dish of au jus (if using) on the side

Notes

  • Keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days in an airtight container.
  • Separating the biscuits in half helps them bake all the way through while giving you more biscuit coverage.
  • Provolone gives this casserole classic French dip flavor, but Swiss or mozzarella are delicious too.
  • If you like extra onions, caramelize them a little longer for an even richer flavor.
