Jump to RecipeHow to Make Beef Pot Pie
- Make The Meat Mixture: Brown the beef in the butter on each side over medium high heat. Then stir in the mixed vegetables and soup. Bring the mixture just to a simmer until combined and smooth. Remove from the heat.
Pro Tip: You don’t need to cook the meat through completely; simply be sure that it has been browned on each side. - Prepare The Pie Pan: Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it in a deep dish pie plate. Pour the meat mixture into the pie crust and then place the other pie crust over the filling. Crimp the edges of the crusts together to form a seal.
Pro Tip: The bottom crust should not have any holes in it but should reach beyond the edge of the pan slightly. - Bake: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Egg wash the crust, by brushing the top and edge of the crust with egg and then cut slits in the top of the pie crust. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Pro Tip: If the edges begin to brown early you can cover them with aluminum foil so that they don’t burn. - Serve: Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving hot. Enjoy!
Tip For the Best Homemade Pot Pie
- Before starting, be sure that your pie crusts are set out on the counter to warm up.
- You can use any can of mixed vegetables that you prefer. Veg-All is a good option because it includes potatoes which adds some substance to the pot pie mixture.
- If you have extra egg after brushing your crust you can discard it.

A meat pie traditionally has a thick filling that consists mostly of meat. A pot pie has a thinner filling and contains more vegetables.
Also, meat pies, like this beef pot pie, are made with both a top and bottom crust or a folded-over pastry, whereas pot pies usually only have a top crust with the filling baked below.
