Description
A comforting beef pot pie filled with ground beef and vegetables, covered in a flaky crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade, if preferred)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- Sprinkle the thyme, salt, pepper, and flour over the beef mixture. Stir well to coat and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the frozen peas and corn.
- If your skillet isn’t oven-safe, transfer the filling to a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
- Roll out one pie crust and place it over the filling, trimming any excess. Cut a few slits in the top to vent steam.
- For a double crust or lattice top, use the second crust as desired.
- Brush the top crust with the beaten egg.
- Place the skillet or pie plate on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pot pie cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- For a homemade crust, use your favorite pie crust recipe.
- This dish can be made in advance and frozen before baking; just increase the baking time if baking from frozen.
