Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.25 lb ground beef (80–85% lean)
  • 1 cup yellow onion finely chopped
  • 0.75 cup carrot small dice
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1.5 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup beef broth preferably low-sodium
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.75 cup frozen peas no need to thaw
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 14 oz refrigerated pie dough double crust
  • 1 tbsp milk for brushing crust

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and set a rack in the center.
  • Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Sauté onion and carrot until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no pink remains, 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Stir in garlic and tomato paste and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Pour in broth and Worcestershire; simmer until thick and saucy, 3–5 minutes.
  • Fold in thyme and peas; season with salt and pepper. Let filling cool 5–10 minutes.
  • Line a 9-inch pie dish with bottom crust and spoon in the warm filling.
  • Cover with top crust, trim, and crimp edges. Cut a few vents on top and brush with milk.
  • Bake 28–35 minutes, until the crust is deep golden and the filling gently bubbles at the edges.
  • Rest 10 minutes before slicing so the juices settle.

Notes

Variation: Swap half the beef for ground pork, or add a handful of shredded cheddar under the top crust for a cheesy finish. Make-ahead tip: Cool the cooked filling completely, assemble, and refrigerate up to 24 hours; add 5–10 minutes to bake time. Leftovers reheat well in a 350°F oven for 12–15 minutes.
