Tips for making hamburger pot pie
This pie tastes fabulous as is but if we want a little “something extra” to add into the pot pie to make it more filling, we often add in drained and rinsed canned potatoes. We add these in right after everything else has cooked and just before we let the mix simmer and thicken before topping with the crust and baking.
When trying to get the pie crust on top, working quickly is of the essence as the crust softens as it warms, making it harder to maneuver. Usually, I try to push the edges down into the pie using a butter knife, but curling the edges to look more like an actual pie crust can be done as well. Whichever you prefer.
FAQ’s about cast iron pot pie
This pot pie goes great with cooked veggies like steamed green beans or a cold side salad. Even serving it with mashed potatoes or white rice can help to make it a more filling meal and soak up some of the juicy flavors.
This pot pie can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days after it’s been cooled. I recommend transferring it to an airtight container in the fridge. It’s not recommended to store cast iron pans in the fridge.
How to make ground beef pot pie
Heat olive oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add in and cook the ground beef, celery, and onions until the ground beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain grease if needed.
Stir in the salt, pepper, Italian seasonings, thyme, and Worchestershire sauce.
Stir in the mixed frozen veggies.
Add in 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup until well mixed.
In a small bowl whisk together 1/2 cup of chicken broth with the cornstarch to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the pot pie filling.
Bring the mixture to a boil and allow to boil over medium heat for 5 minutes, stir constantly to avoid bits from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Top your pie filling with a pie crust and press the edges of the crust into the skillet, remembering to cut a vent.
Brush the top of the crust with the egg wash.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Let sit for 10 minutes to thicken before serving.
