For the Biscuits:

• 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 1/2 lb thinly sliced roast beef (deli-style)
• 1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup prepared horseradish sauce or Dijon mustard (optional)

For the Au Jus:

• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Assemble Biscuits:
   Flatten each biscuit dough piece slightly. Place a slice of roast beef and a sprinkle of cheese in the center. Add a dollop of horseradish sauce or mustard, if desired. Fold the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal. Place seam-side down in the muffin tin or on the baking sheet.
3. Bake:
   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
4. Prepare Au Jus:
   While the biscuits bake, combine the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until warm.
5. Serve:
   Serve the warm biscuits with au jus on the side for dipping.
