This faster version uses a purchased pastry crust, frozen vegetables and a jar of gravy to reduce prep time...and the filling is prepared speedily on the stove instead of baked in the oven. You'll be amazed at how good our quicker version tastes!—Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

Quicker Beef PotPie Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

Pastry for single-crust pie (9 inches)
1 tablespoon water
1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme, divided
1 pound beef top sirloin steak or boneless beef top round steak, cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 package (16 ounces) frozen mixed vegetables
1 jar (12 ounces) beef gravy
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

On a floured surface, roll pastry to 1/8-in. thickness. Brush with water. Sprinkle with cheese and 1/4 teaspoon thyme; press lightly. Using a 3-in. biscuit cutter, cut out four 3-in. circles. Place circles and remaining pastry on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown beef in oil for 5 minutes or until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the vegetables, gravy, mushrooms, garlic salt, pepper and remaining thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Set pastry circles aside. Break remaining pastry into 2-in. pieces; place in soup bowls. Top with beef mixture and pastry circles. Yield: 4 servings.
