S'sK Veggie Pot Pie

This is my Veggie Pot Pie Recipe. I use this pie crust recipe from one of my previous blog posts: Pie Crust. I use frozen bagged assorted veggies (carrots, peas, and green beans) for some of the veggies in this pie. For a fresher tastier pie, you can use fresh produce.

Veggie Pot Pie

Prep time: 1 hour
Bake time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:
3-4 potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic
12 oz bag of assorted veggies
3 cups veggie broth
3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2-5 additional tablespoons flour

Pie Crust




Filling:
1.    Peel potatoes, cut in small cubes and cook in microwave until soft. About 10 minutes.
2.    In frying pan, cook olive oil and garlic together until garlic slightly browns.
3.    While frying garlic, steam bag of veggies (if bag is a steam in the bag) otherwise cook in microwave. Do not steam/cook veggies until they are completely finished. Cook about ¾ the way. Once semi-cooked, drain water from veggies and add veggies to frying pan.
4.    Add cooked potatoes to frying pan. Lower frying pan temperature to low.
5.    Boil 3 cups water in microwave. When water boils put veggie broth cube in water. Dissolve.
6.    Add soy sauce to broth. Mix together with a fork.
7.    Add 3 TBSP flour into broth and mix until it is a paste. Add mixture to frying pan. Let veggies and mixture boil and thicken. (Adjust stovetop temperature to medium-high). Add salt, pepper and 2-5 TBSP more flour to thicken filling.
8.    Turn off stove.

 Finish the pie:

9.    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
10.    Use Cooking spray on the pie tin/casserole dish. Put pie crust on bottom and sides of casserole dish. Poke pie crust with a fork on the edges and randomly on the bottom.
11.    Add aluminum foil to sides of pie crust, so that the edges don’t burn.
12.    Bake pie crust for 5 min before adding filling.
13.    Remove pie crust from oven, and add filling.
14.    Put the top pie crust on top of filling and connect sides of bottom crust to top of pie crust. Flute dough together on the sides and poke some holes in the top of the crust with a fork.
15.    Bake for 30 minutes.
16.    Remove aluminum foil from edges.
17.    Bake for 10 minutes.
