Method
Preparation of Filling
- In a large skillet, cook the ground meat over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then add chopped onion and diced carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and cook for an additional minute, stirring often.
- Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Then toss in the frozen peas. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assembling and Baking
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your pastry crust and fit it into a pie dish.
- Pour the meat filling into the crust and cover with the top layer of the pastry. Crimp the edges together to seal and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Pair your Classic Meat Pie with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables. For a vegetarian version, consider using a blend of mushrooms, lentils, and vegetables instead of meat.
