Ingredients
Scale
For the Vegetable Pot Pie Filling:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ½ cup frozen corn (or any other vegetable add-ins you prefer)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
For the Biscuit Topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ¾ cup whole milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, carrots, and mushrooms, cooking until softened (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
- Thicken the Filling: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the vegetable broth and whole milk, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken for 3-5 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, thyme, peas, corn, and parsley. Remove from heat.
- Make the Biscuit Topping: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk until a soft dough forms.
- Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the vegetable filling to a large oven-safe skillet or casserole dish. Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough evenly over the top of the filling.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken slightly. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, green beans, or potatoes. If using frozen vegetables, there’s no need to thaw them before adding.
- For a heartier option, add 1 cup of peeled and diced potatoes or sweet potatoes when you add the broth.
- You can also substitute chicken or turkey for a non-vegetarian version by using pre-cooked, shredded meat.
