  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 pie crusts (for 9"x11" baking dish or average pie plate)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook about 5 minutes until no longer pink. Remove beef from skillet.
  3. Add olive oil, onions, celery, carrots, and mushrooms to skillet. Season with salt and pepper and sauté 8-10 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  4. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring to prevent burning.
  5. Stir in flour to coat vegetables, then slowly add beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Add basil, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
  7. Return cooked beef to skillet and stir in frozen peas. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Roll out one pie crust and press into the bottom of a 9"x11" baking dish.
  9. Pour beef mixture into the crust-lined dish.
  10. Cover with second pie crust and score the top crust to release steam.
  11. Whisk egg and water together and brush over top crust for a golden shine.
  12. Bake for 30-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  13. Let cool for 20 minutes before serving to allow filling to thicken.

Notes

This pot pie reheats well and can be refrigerated in an airtight container for several days. For longer storage, freeze tightly covered for up to three months.
