Ingredients

• 2 cups canned tuna (drained)
• 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and corn)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 prepared pie crusts
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a paste and starts to bubble.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and mix in the canned tuna and frozen mixed vegetables. Combine well.

Step 7

Place one prepared pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into place.

Step 8

Pour the tuna mixture into the pie crust and spread it evenly.

Step 9

Place the second pie crust over the filling and crimp the edges together to seal. Trim any excess dough if necessary.

Step 10

Cut a few small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this gently over the top crust for a golden finish.

Step 12

Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and allow the pot pie to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
