Caramelized Onion Roast Beef Rolls

Although I think of this recipe as an appetizer, it could definitely pass as a meal! The rolls are a savory roll with crescent roll dough and lots of roast beef and cheese. The caramelized onions add a little nutty flavor with a little bit of sweetness. And, the baked rolls are topped with a salted butter topping.

Caramelized Onion Roast Beef Rolls Ingredients

Roast Beef:If you buy roast beef from the deli, have it shaved or thinly sliced. You can also find it prepackaged.

Onions:I went with yellow onions for this recipe because they caramelize so well. You could also try a sweet onion, like a Vidalia onion or a Walla Walla onion.

Provolone Cheese:Provolone cheese is commonly used in a French dip sandwich, which is what these are close to, but with no au jus, or dipping, sauce. (But trust me, you don't need any dipping sauce; these are so flavorful as is)! These would also be great with Gruyere cheese or even Swiss cheese.

Crescent Roll Dough: You will need two cans of the crescent roll sheets to roll up all the flavors inside.

Caramelizing Onions

The first step in this recipe is to caramelize the onions. Caramelizing onions gets them soft and sweet with a golden color. To get started, melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sugar and cook for about five minutes.

Next, add the salt and pepper and reduce the heat to medium. While the onions are cooking, stir them occasionally, scraping them off the bottom of the skillet. Cook them for 10-15 more minutes. Remove them from the heat and let them get to room temperature while you put together the Roast Beef Rolls.

How to Make Caramelized Onion Roast Beef Rolls

As the onions are coming to room temperature, get the roast beef rolls put together and baked. Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set that aside as you prepare the rolls.

First, roll out the two cans of crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface. Combine the two sheets of dough into one large rectangle, pinching together any seams. Top the dough with provolone cheese, roast beef, and caramelized onions.

Once the layers are on the dough, roll it up tightly, starting on the long edge. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 12 rolls. Place them into the prepared baking dish and bake for 45 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown. When the rolls are almost done baking, melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl and mix in the salt and parsley for the salted butter topping. Brush the salted butter over the warm rolls. Enjoy!
