Meanwhile, cut up potatoes and carrots and boil til tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Make 2 cups brown gravy and pour into large bowl.
Add potatoes, carrots and rest of vegetables.
Carefully open pressure cooker when safe, drain meat and onion, and add to gravy/veggie mixture.
Stir in a 1/4 teaspoons each of garlic powder and pepper *or to taste.
Roll out 1 ball of chilled pastry to fit a 9" deepdish pie shell and place into dish.
Fill with meat mixture.
Roll out other ball of dough and cover pie, sealing edges well.
*You can do a lattice top, or cut slits to vent in solid top.
Brush top and edge with milk, sprinkle with pepper and dried thyme. Just a light sprinkling of each.
Bake in 400º oven for 35-40 minutes.
