⭐ Ingredients
For the Biscuits
-
2 cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (or 12–16 homemade biscuits)
-
2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)
For the Filling
-
3 cups cooked shredded roast beef
(Slow cooker, leftover pot roast, deli pulled beef, or pressure-cooked beef all work beautifully.) -
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tablespoon beef broth or au jus (optional for extra moisture)
-
Salt and black pepper to taste
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon onion powder
For the Cheese Layer
-
8–12 slices provolone, mozzarella, or Swiss
(Provolone melts beautifully and gives that browned “bubble top” seen in the photo.)
For the Golden Tops
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone
-
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
🍽️ Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven and Sheet Pan
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
A sheet pan allows all the melts to cook evenly and avoids the bottom becoming soggy.
