Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, and green beans)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 discs refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned (about 6-8 minutes). Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion softens.

Step 4

Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to create a smooth mixture. Add the Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a gravy-like consistency. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 7

Roll out one of the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges.

Step 8

Fill the pie crust with the beef and vegetable mixture, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Pinch and crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together to seal. Cut small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the top crust evenly with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny finish.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 12

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 13

Enjoy your delicious Cow Pie as a comforting and satisfying meal!
