Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 0.5 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 2 sheets refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, garlic, and carrots to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1–2 minutes to caramelize it slightly.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the flour and mix well to coat the meat and vegetables. Cook for 1 minute.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the beef broth and stir to combine. Add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens. Stir in the frozen peas and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.

Step 8

Roll out one sheet of pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it gently into the edges.

Step 9

Spoon the ground beef mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

Place the second sheet of pie crust over the filling. Trim any excess and pinch the edges to seal, crimping decoratively if desired. Cut several slits in the top to let steam escape.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and flaky.

Step 13

Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
