Ingredients
1 pre-made pie crust1 pound lean ground beef1 medium onion, diced3 carrots, cut into coins (par-boiled for 5 minutes)1 small can of peas (or use 1/4 cup frozen peas)1 1/2 cups of mashed potatoes3 tablespoons of butter (I use Earth Balance Soy Garden)3 tablespoons of flour1/4 cup of beef broth1/4 cup of dark beersalt/pepperolive oil
Place the pre-made pie crust in a deep casserole dish making sure the crust comes up the sides.
In a large skillet, heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sweat the diced onion. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and brown.
When the beef is browned, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
Melt the 3 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet, being sure to scrape up any brown bits. Once the butter is melted, add the flour and let cook a few minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the beef broth and the beer to the flour/butter (roux) and stir until you have a nice, thick gravy. About 5-10 minutes.
