Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 pound ground beef
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 carrots (peeled and finely diced, about 1/2 cup)
- 1 large potato (peeled and finely diced, about 1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1/2 cup peas
- 2 packages pie crust (4 pie crusts)
- 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they start to soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the carrots and potatoes and cook until just starting to soften, about 3-5 minutes.
- Mix in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir to combine.
- Pour in the beef stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer until thickened, about 5-10 minutes.
- Stir in the peas, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
- Using a large biscuit cutter, cut circles from the dough.
- Whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water for the egg wash.
- Add 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling to the center of a dough circle.
- Brush the edges lightly with egg wash, place a second crust on top and seal the edges with a fork.
- Cut a slit in the center of each pie and transfer to a prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for about 20 minutes, until golden.
- Allow to cool before serving.
