Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons ice water
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 medium carrots (diced)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1.5 cups beef broth
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough comes together. Form the dough into two discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.
Add diced onion, garlic, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the beef and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute.
Gradually add the beef broth and milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce. Add Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, black pepper, and frozen peas. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Roll out one chilled dough disc on a lightly floured surface into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it into the base and sides. Trim any excess dough.
Fill the pie crust with the ground beef mixture, spreading it evenly.
Roll out the second dough disc into a circle large enough to cover the pie. Place it over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake the potpie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the potpie cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
