Ingredients
  

For this quick beef pot pie recipe, you'll need:

  • 1 pound ground beef (90% lean works best for flavor without excess fat)
  • 1 pre-made refrigerated pie crust (or frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, green beans)
  • 1 small onion , diced (about ½ cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg , beaten (for crust wash)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients
    Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats, quickly gather and organize all ingredients to streamline the cooking process. This "mise en place" approach can reduce your active cooking time by up to 30%.
    Step 2: Brown the Meat
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 1 minute until slightly translucent. Add the ground beef and minced garlic, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Brown for approximately 3-4 minutes until no pink remains. The caramelization of the beef at this stage creates the foundational flavor for your pie.
    Step 3: Create the Filling
    Add the frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet (no need to thaw) and stir to combine. Pour in the condensed soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and the vegetables begin to soften. The quick simmer allows flavors to meld while keeping your vegetables from becoming mushy.
    Step 4: Assemble the Pot Pie
    Transfer the hot filling to a 9-inch pie dish or a 2-quart casserole dish. Working quickly, unroll the refrigerated pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut 2-3 small slits in the center to allow steam to escape during baking. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
    Step 5: Bake to Perfection
    Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any potential overflow) and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The elevated oven temperature ensures a perfectly flaky crust in minimal time.
