How to Make It
Okay, so here’s the scoop. You’ve got your beef going, stewing up with some onions and garlic that smells *amazing*. Trust me, this is where the magic starts. Then you’re tossing in carrots, peas, whatever veggies you have lounging in the fridge begging for attention. Simmer it down with some beef broth until it all sings together. Don’t forget to hit it with a sprinkle of thyme. The pie crust is your canvas now. Roll it out, cut it into circles, fill with your luscious beef mix, and top with another crust circle. Bake until golden and try not to drool while you wait.
Ingredient Notes
– Beef: Chuck beef works great; it’s got a good fat content that keeps everything juicy. Skip the lean stuff unless you want chewy bites.
– Carrots: Sweetness factor here, plus they don’t turn into mush. Not a fan? Swap them for parsnips or another root veggie.
– Thyme: This is the not-so-secret ingredient. It adds that earthy goodness. No thyme? Try rosemary but use half the amount — it’s potent!
Recipe Steps
1. Brown the beef in a hot pan just until the outsides are seared.
2. Add onions and garlic, stir until fragrant.
3. Toss in veggies and some beef broth, let it bubble away.
4. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper — taste it!
5. Roll out pie dough, cut into circles, and fill with beef mixture.
6. Cover with another circle, crimp edges, and bake until golden.

Storage Tips
Honestly, these babies last in the fridge about 3 days, but they never make it that long around here. Just cover them tightly. Trust me, reheated or cold, they’re breakfast material too — no judgment!
Variations and Substitutions
Forgot the beef? No worries, you can use chicken — it works beautifully. Hate peas? Add corn instead. Once swapped honey for sugar as my sweetener; still delightful.
