Rich Venison Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground venison
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 tsp rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pre-made pie crust
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground venison over medium heat until it’s nicely cooked through.
  3. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until everything is tender and aromatic, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to let those flavors blend beautifully.
  5. Roll out your pre-made pie crust and place it in a pie dish. Pour your venison mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. Cover the filling with another pie crust, sealing the edges by crimping them together. Make a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  7. Brush the top crust with the beaten egg for a nice golden-brown finish when it bakes.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
