Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

How to Make Savory Beef Pot Pie

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrots, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4. Stir in the frozen peas, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
5. If you prefer a thicker filling, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the filling. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until thickened.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
7. Unroll one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it against the bottom and sides. Pour the beef filling into the crust.
8. Cover the filling with the second pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
9. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg to give it a beautiful golden color.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Let the pot pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine to the beef mixture while cooking.
• Ensure the beef is fully cooked before adding the broth and vegetables.
• If you prefer a homemade crust, feel free to substitute with your favorite pie crust recipe.

Easy Variations

• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Add mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Use a mix of fresh herbs, such as rosemary or parsley, to enhance the filling.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Mashed potatoes for a heartier side.
• Steamed green beans or broccoli for a pop of color and nutrients.
