Easy Skillet Beef Pot Pie 1 pound ground beef 1 small onion, chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons all purpose flour 1/2 tsp pepper 1 tsp salt 1 cup milk (any type) 1 cup low sodium beef broth/stock 2 (15oz) cans mixed vegetables, drained 8 biscuits (homemade or store-bought) 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme (optional) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large oven-going skillet brown ground beef with onion and garlic until no longer pink. Drain grease if needed. Sprinkle with flour and stir to mix well. Stir in salt, pepper, milk, broth, and simmer until slightly thickened. Stir in vegetables. Top with biscuits and sprinkle with thyme if desired. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Notes Tips for making this Easy Skillet Beef Pot Pie: Use any topping you desire, store-bought or homemade. Canned biscuits, pie crust, crescent dough, or even puff pastry are all great options and offer different variations. You don't have to cut up the biscuits either. I just like too because it makes it more fun for the kids. If you use pie crust just use one crust and lay on top. Cut a couple of slits to help vent the air. If using crescent dough break dough up into the triangles and arrange on top overlapping as needed. I used 2 cans of mixed vegetables but frozen work great too. Use about 3 cups of frozen vegetables in place of the canned veggies. No need to thaw, just stir them in. If you don't have a cast iron skillet just use any oven-going skillet or baking dish.
