Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef Choose lean ground beef for a healthier option without sacrificing flavor.
  • 1 small onion Finely chopped, adds sweetness and depth to the filling.
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced, enhances the overall taste with its aromatic qualities.
  • 1 small carrot Diced, provides texture and subtle sweetness to the mix.
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour Helps thicken the filling for a satisfying consistency.
  • ½ cup beef broth Infuses the pie with rich flavor and moisture.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Adds a savory umami kick to elevate your pie's taste.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Essential for enhancing all the flavors in your dish.
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper Introduces warmth and depth to the filling.
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme A classic herb that complements meat beautifully.
  • 2 9-inch unbaked pie crusts Choose your favorite type for convenience or homemade goodness.
  • 1 egg for egg wash Creates a golden, glossy finish on your crust.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Place one of the pie crusts into a 9-inch pie plate, allowing it to slightly overhang at the edges.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Add in the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced carrots, cooking until they are soft and fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and stir well to coat everything evenly. Gradually pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce while stirring continually until combined; let this mixture simmer for about five minutes before removing it from heat.
  5. Pour the flavorful filling into your prepared crust, spreading it out evenly. Cover with the second crust, crimping edges together tightly; don't forget to cut slits on top for steam release and brush with beaten egg for that lovely shine.
  6. Place your assembled pie into the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden brown on top. If edges start browning too quickly, cover them with foil halfway through baking.
