These French Dip Crescent Rolls are perfect for a light lunch or appetizer!
Kids also love them, which is a huge bonus. With kids about to be out of school for the summer I’m always looking for something WW friendly I can feed them and myself.
Another bonus is they are extremely easy to make.
What you need to make French Dip Crescent Rolls:
- Pillsbury reduced fat crescent rolls
- Roast beef lunch meat (I used 6 ounces of Boar’s Head roast beef)
- Sargento light string cheese
- Optional: Au Jus (I bought a packet of McCormick’s Au Jus)
There are a few things I did to lighten up this recipe. The first thing was to buy the reduced fat crescent rolls. They are 3 points each while the original crescent rolls are 4 points each.
I used 6 ounces of Boar’s Head roast beef which I divided into 8. It was approximately 1.3 ounces for each crescent roll.
The most accurate way to do evenly divide the roast beef is to use a food scale.
It may not seem like a lot of lunch meat but it really is the perfect amount for the crescent rolls.
For the string cheese I used Sargento light string cheese. It’s 3 points for two pieces of string cheese. I cut both pieces of string cheese in half, then cut each piece in half lengthwise.
This gave me 8 pieces of string cheese that were the perfect size for the crescent rolls.
Each crescent roll is only 4 points each with blue, green and purple. I didn’t include the points for the Au Jus because it’s optional and won’t add much as far as points.
