Okay, not really…  My mother laments that I make “fancy” food.  What I actually do is make up French names for easy everyday food.  So, this is a very easy Hamburger Pot Pie.  I remember my grandmother making this, she put biscuits on top.  I love the puff pastry instead, kind of makes it French…

Ingredients:       

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion diced
• 1 T. olive oil
• 1 Tsp minced garlic
• ¾ bag of frozen mixed vegetables
• ½ can evaporated milk
• 2 T. flour
• 2 T. butter
• Salt and Pepper
• 1 Sheet of puff pastry, thawed for about 20 minutes
• 1 egg beaten

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray 11×7 casserole dish with cooking spray.  Use a large sauté pan over med heat and soften onion in 1 T. olive oil, add garlic for a quick stir, add the ground beef, salt and pepper, break up and brown the beef.  Add frozen vegetables and cook while stirring for a few minutes. Add butter to pan and let melt. Sprinkle the flour over beef and cook for about 2 minutes (like you would for gravy) now add the milk slowly while stirring constantly.  This will thicken pretty quickly.  Taste for seasoning and add s & p if needed. Pour this mixture into prepared casserole.  Roll the puff pastry to fit over casserole, beat one egg in a bowl and brush on top of pastry.  Cut a few slits in the top of pastry to vent.  Bake at 400 for about 30 minutes.  When the pastry is golden brown it is done.  Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting into.

Enjoy!
