Ingredients
For the Filling
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 lbs. ground beef
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 2 carrots, peeled and finely diced
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ½ cup dry red wine
- 1 ¾ cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
For the Biscuits
- 2 cups Bisquick
- ⅔-¾ cup cold buttermilk (or regular milk)
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley (or ¼ teaspoon dried parsley)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Heat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F to prepare for baking the pot pie.
- Brown the beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat and transfer beef to a bowl.
- Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add mushrooms, carrots, and onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add the paste and flour: Stir in tomato paste and minced garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute to form a roux.
- Make the gravy: Pour in the red wine and cook until almost evaporated, around 2 minutes. Gradually add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping the bottom to release browned bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Finish the filling: Return browned ground beef to the skillet. Stir in frozen peas and fresh thyme. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix the biscuits: In a separate bowl, combine Bisquick, buttermilk, shredded cheddar cheese, and parsley. Stir with a fork just until a soft dough forms.
- Top the filling: Drop spoonfuls (about ¼ cup each) of biscuit dough evenly over the hot beef filling in the skillet, making around 7 to 8 biscuits.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for about 12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Brush and serve: Mix melted butter and garlic powder in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the freshly baked biscuits and serve warm.
Notes
- Use an oven-proof skillet to avoid transferring the filling to another dish.
- Substitute regular milk if buttermilk is unavailable, though biscuits will be slightly less tender.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste before baking.
- To save time, prepare biscuit dough while the filling simmers.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven.
