But I LOVE French dips! Maybe it’s just the fact that I actually get to dip a sandwich in some warm au jus. Or maybe it’s the ooey gooey melted cheese mixed with thinly-sliced roast beef. Or maybe with this recipe, it’s an excuse to break out my favorite crescent rolls to serve as the bun!! Yep, classic French dip sandwiches meet the simple, buttery goodness of crescent rolls in this recipe to make French Dip Crescents. Perfect for a quick and simple lunch, or even to serve as cute little apps at your next get together!

Nothing like a hot sandwich to warm up a chilly day. Try one of these recipes the next time you want some tasty inspiration. They're like mittens for your belly. So easy, and super delicious.
