Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits
Separate each biscuit from the can into two layers. Carefully spread a thin layer of creamy horseradish sauce on each layer to suit your taste.
Step 3: Assemble the Biscuits
On the bottom half of each biscuit layer, place a slice of provolone cheese followed by a generous portion of thinly sliced deli roast beef. Carefully place the top biscuit layer over the filling and pinch the edges together to seal tightly.
Step 4: Bake the Biscuits
Arrange the assembled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Prepare the Au Jus Gravy
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the au jus gravy mix according to the package directions. This will be used for dipping the biscuits.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once the biscuits are baked to a golden perfection, remove them from the oven. Serve them warm alongside the prepared au jus gravy for dipping.
