• 4 MAGGI® Instant Beef Bouillon

How to make Beef Potpie

1. Lightly coat stew beef with flour.
2. Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles in the oil; add beef and brown, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain.
3. Return skillet to heat.
4. Add onion and garlic, sautéing until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Carefully stir in water, bouillon cubes, salt, Worcestershire sauce and pepper.
6. Return meat to skillet, reduce heat and simmer for about 1 ½ hours.
7. Add potatoes, carrots and green pepper; simmer for another 20 minutes.
8. Stir in peas.
9. Preheat oven to 450oF (230oC).
10. Line a 9-inch pie pan with one of the crusts, letting the edge drape over the side; using a slotted spoon, fill pie with beef filling.
11. Add a little of the cooking broth to filling, if desired.
12. Top with remaining crust, fold bottom edge up over top edge, crimp edge with a fork and cut a few small slits in top crust to allow steam to escape while cooking.
13. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350oF (175oC) and bake for 30 more minutes.
