Beef Pot Pie

Beef Pot Pie

I didn't know the difference between Beef Pot Pie and a Beef Pie.  That was until I googled it.  Then when you think about it.  Beef Pie, is just that.  

It's... Beef, in a pie.

Beef Pot Pie however, has both a top and bottom crust.  It has veggies and gravy.  So today, I am making a Beef Pot Pie.

Ingredients

Beef - I used cut up roast beef, but you could also use fried ground beef

4 or 5 potatoes, boiled and diced

1 bag of diced carrots and peas

1/2 cup flour

1/2 cup butter

1 box of beef broth

Pie crust

Stuff you will need

1 pot to boil the potatoes and make the gravy

1 9 x 14 baking dish

Rolling pin

Directions

OK, so I have used a couple different items in this pie.

For the crust, I have used a double deep dish crust and for the top, just a single, to see the pie crust recipe, see my page at: http://cookwithmitch.blogspot.ca/2016/08/classic-crisco-pie-crust.html

Once the pie crust is made, put it in the fridge to cool.

For the gravy, vice making chicken gravy like the food blog says, use beef broth and you will be making a beef gravy.  So my other page at: http://cookwithmitch.blogspot.ca/2016/08/chicken-gravy.html

I peeled, diced and boiled the potatoes. Drained them and kept them aside.

Pre-heat your oven to 375 F.

I made the gravy.  Then added the beef and potatoes.  I mixed that together and put that aside.

I took the pie crust out of the fridge, rolled it out and put it into the baking dish.  Put in the gravy, beef and potatoes.  I put a top layer of diced carrots and peas.  Depending on how much room you have in your pie, will depend on how much of this you add.  

Put your top layer pie crust.  Pinch the edges and put cuts in the top crust so that steam will be able to escape.

Into the oven for an hour.  As you can see by this picture, there was a edge that wasn't closed so well, so I used extra crust to close it in.  Like I always say, I am a cooking enthusiast, not a chef.

After an hour, your pie will look like this:

Server warm.  We used a bowl so that none of the gravy was lost and ate it with a spoon.
