Ingredients
Prepare the Filling
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1.5 pounds Lean Ground Beef (85/15)
- 1 small Yellow Onion diced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 cup Carrots peeled and diced
- 1 cup Potatoes peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
- 2 cups Low Sodium Beef Broth
- 1 cup Frozen Peas
Craft the Biscuit Topping
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 6 tablespoons Cold Salted Butter
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until it's nicely browned, then drain off any excess fat for a healthier base.
- Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes until they become fragrant.
- Add the diced carrots and potatoes, cooking for another 3 minutes while stirring. You'll notice some lovely caramelization starting, which adds natural sweetness and depth.
- Mix in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir well to coat. Slowly pour in the beef broth, stirring continuously. Let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens nicely.
- Finally, stir in the frozen peas and remove the skillet from the heat.
- Transfer this flavorful filling into your prepared baking dish and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, carefully work the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs or small flakes. Be sure not to overmix!
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently just until the dough comes together. Again, avoid overmixing to ensure your biscuits stay tender and flaky.
- Lightly pat the biscuit dough into a ball and roll it out to your desired thickness. Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out 6 to 8 biscuits, then arrange them over the beef filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the tops of the biscuits.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuits are beautifully golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Let the pot pie cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set slightly. Dive into this comforting, wholesome meal!
