🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup beef broth
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme

For the Crust

1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 400°F.
2In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
4Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 2 minutes.
5Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute.
6Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
7Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the beef filling into the crust.
8Place the second pie crust on top. Crimp the edges to seal and cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
9Brush the top crust with the beaten egg.
10Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Ground Beef Pot Pie

1. Can I make this ground beef pot pie ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the pot pie completely and refrigerate it unbaked for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, add about 10 minutes to the baking time.

2. Can I freeze this pot pie?

Absolutely. Assemble the pot pie, do not bake, and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen at 375°F for about 50-60 minutes.

3. What can I use instead of a pie crust?

You can use puff pastry, biscuit dough, or even mashed potatoes on top for a shepherd’s pie style. Puff pastry gives a lighter, flakier texture.

To avoid a soggy bottom, you can pre-bake the bottom crust for about 10 minutes before adding the filling. Also, make sure your filling is not too liquidy.

5. Can I add other vegetables?

Yes, feel free to add any vegetables you like. Peas, corn, carrots, green beans, or even chopped potatoes work well. Just make sure to cook them slightly before adding to the filling.
