Ingredients

• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons margarine
• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 carrot, chopped

• 1 cup frozen green peas

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the pie crust out into a 12 inch circle. Set aside.

Step 2

Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add potato and onion, and cook until the onion is tender, but not brown. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture, and stir to blend. Season with oregano, black pepper and garlic powder. Pour in the beef broth, and add the peas, carrot and beef. Bring to a boil. Transfer the mixture to a 2 quart casserole dish, and place the pastry over the top. Cut slits for steam, and flute the edges.

Step 3

Place on a baking sheet, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until crust is golden. Let stand 10 minutes before serving to thicken.
