Beef Pot Pie

This is one of those oh, so, yummy, homestyle fully delectable goodness dishes.  It is actually my oldest daughter’s recipe and I only acted as a “Sous Chef” 🙂   

Ingredients:
1/4 cup (4 TBSP) Butter
1 tsp. Olive Oil
1 medium onion chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or 2 tsp garlic powder
6 stalks celery chopped
1 cup chopped carrots or more to your taste
4 medium potatoes peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces (we like Red Skin Golden Potoatoes)
1 15oz can corn or 1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh
–Add 1 cup peas or broccoli with other veggies if desired–
1# leftover pot roast, (we used flank steak cooked in the crockpot) chopped or shredded
1/4 cup flour
2 1/2 – 3 cups Beef Stock
1/2 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
Pie Crust – recipe below or use pre-made, refrigerated crust –  enough for a two crust pie

1.  Heat Olive Oil Medium – Medium high and saute onion, celey, and carrots for 5 minutests
2.  Add garlic and potatoes and cook for another 5-10 minutes
3.  Add corn and butter – stir until butter is melted
4.  Add roast and stir until blended
5.  Stir in flour and cook for a few minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
6.  Add Beef Stock and milk — bring to a boil until the sauce has thickened.
7.  Taste now add salt and pepper as needed
8.  Pour into a 13×9 pan and top with pie crust.  “Poke” a few holes into the crust for steam to escape.
9.  Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes.
