10.5ouncescan condensed cream of mushroom soup

1large eggwhisked
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and be sure that your pie crusts are set out to warm up.
Heat up a large skillet to medium high heat and melt the butter in the skillet.
Brown the stew meat in the butter on each side, about 2-3 minutes. You don’t need to cook it through completely, simply be sure that it has been browned on each side.
Add in the mixed vegetables, condensed cream of mushroom soup and stir together with the beef.
Bring the mixture just to a simmer so that it fully combines and becomes smooth and then remove from the heat.
Roll out one of the pie crusts with a rolling pin and then place it in a 9 inch pie pan, preferably glass. The crust should not have any holes in it but should reach beyond the edge of the pan slightly.
Pour the meat mixture into the pie crust and then top with the other pie crust. You shouldn’t need to roll that one with a rolling pin, simply unroll it and place it on top.
Crimp the edges of the pie crusts together all around the pie pan to seal in the filling.
Brush the top and edge of the crust with the whisked egg and then use a knife to cut slits in the top of the pie crust. If you have extra egg you can discard it.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the pie crust turns golden brown. If the edges begin to brown early you can cover them with aluminum foil so that they don’t burn.
Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving hot.

Tips:
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.
