Marsha's Notes:

When I get into one of my marathon cooking moods I like to make these pot pies to put into the freezer for a night when I don't feel like cooking or time is short.

Great to have on hand for a quick company meal as well.

 

Directions

1
In a large Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add beef and brown on all sides. Remove beef from pan and set aside.
2
Add onion, carrot, potato and celery to the pot. Cook over medium heat until tender. Add mushrooms and garlic and cook about 5 minutes longer. Add thyme, rosemary, and paprika. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Return beef to the pot and pour in broth. Stir to combine and bring to a low simmer. Cover the pot and allow stew to simmer until beef is very tender, about 1½ – 2 hours. Shred beef and return to pot.
3
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and milk/cream. Pour into pot and bring up to a simmer. Cook until thickened a bit, about 5 minutes. Stir in frozen peas and remove from heat.
If making individual pot pies, pour filling into 4-6 individual-sized baking dishes. (If making one large pie, pour into an 8″ x 8″ baking dish.) In a small bowl, make egg wash by whisking egg with 1-2 teaspoons of water.
4
Roll puff pastry out slightly and brush with egg wash. Cut pastry into 4-6 squares, large enough to cover each baking dish. (If making one pie, don’t cut). Place pastry over each baking dish. Use a sharp knife and make a few small slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape while baking.

Bake pies at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until golden. Makes 4-6 individual pies or 1 (8″ x 8″) pie.

When you freeze for later use, when do you top with puff pastry?

I have done both ways. They store better if you put the puff pastry on just before popping into the oven. I let the pies partially thaw before baking and then watch that I don't over brown the topping.

Marsha, Both sizes would be fantastic. Thank you so much for your recipe. I've been looking for these for along time. The beef pot pie sounds like what my mom used to make, so I'm sure the chicken one will too! I'm allergic to sea food. Hope that won't cause a problem for you. My mom did when I was 9. I cook mostly by recipes.

It is wonderful when you have someone that you are able to work with in the kitchen. My mom was a competent cook, she really didn't like us around when she was baking but she encouraged us to watch her when she cooked. I guess moving so much when I was a kid and tasting food from so many different places really peaked my interest in food. My dad's mom was a fabulous cook and my dad was very adventurous in the kitchen. He would work on something until he figured it out. We loved to cook together. My sister is a baker, she cooks too, but her passion is baking. I like cooking better myself because it is an art and baking is a science. You have to follow certain formulas in baking or the end product won't turn out, cooking is putting together the foods and flavors that you love.
