Steps:
- Melt the butter with the olive oil in a heavy pot. Sear the meat over medium-high heat in batches until brown, 4 to 5 minutes; remove to a plate.
- Add the carrots, celery and shallots and saute until the vegetables start to wilt, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low, add the mustard, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the flour and saute for 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the wine, beef broth and 1 cup water. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir. Bring to a boil. Return the browned meat to the pot and reduce the heat to low. Add the bay leaves and thyme sprigs, then cover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons flour with a little water and pour into the stew. Cook and thicken for 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets one by one to get rid of the creases. Set a 6- to 8-inch ovensafe skillet upside down on a pastry sheet and cut a circle around it, making it 1/2 inch larger than the dish. Repeat with the remaining 5 skillets using all of the pastry sheets; discard the scraps.
- Put the 6 skillets onto 2 baking sheets and fill the skillets with the cooled beef mixture. Sprinkle over some chopped bacon and 1/2 teaspoon chopped parsley on each.
- Top each skillet with a pastry circle, pressing along the edges to seal. Mix together the egg and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl to make an egg wash. Brush each pastry lid with the egg wash. Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, brown the pieces of meat on all sides. Pour in some water to almost cover. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer until meat is tender and falls apart easily; about 2 to 3 hours. Transfer meat to a large mixing bowl. Shred the meat slightly and add salt and pepper to taste.
- In another 2 quart saucepan over medium heat, pour in beef broth and add carrots and potatoes. Cook until almost tender; about 15 to 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- When the carrots and potatoes are done, transfer to the large mixing bowl with the beef; leaving the liquid in the pan. Combine the peas with the carrots, potatoes and beef.
- Dissolve the cornstarch with the 1/3 cup of water. Pour into the saucepan of beef broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat; cook for 5 minutes.
- Line a 9 inch pie plate with one of the pie crust following the package directions. Place the beef mixture into the pie crust. Pour the gravy over the top of the mixture, then cover with the other pie crust. Bake in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown; about 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

COMPANY'S COMING CHICKEN POT PIE
I love tweaking 50's Comfort Food, so when I knew that I was having friends over for dinner, I wanted to upgrade Chicken Pot pie for all those jaded palates. This is extremely easy to put together, as half of it is ready-made products and the other half is scratch. Make the sauce early in the day, let the flavours mingle and then pop it in the oven when you're ready. The Pillsbury Grand biscuits held up SO well, that leftovers the following day were as exceptional as when originally served!

Steps:
- Place chopped onions, garlic and exotic mushroom mixture into a large 12" skillet with butter, cover, and heat over low heat until the onions are transparent.
- Meanwhile, tear apart the chicken, tearing the pieces into bite-sized bits. If you like dark meat, include it, but I save it for flavouring instant soups. That means I use 2-3 cups of White Meat for the recipe.
- When onion/garlic/mushroom mixture is softened, add chicken, cream of chicken soup, the sour cream, milk, wine, herbs and frozen vegetables to skillet. If you plan on making this NOW, heat until very hot, but not boiling. If you plan on having it later, heat until just warm and flavours are allowed to mingle, then stick mixture in frig, in skillet.
- When you're ready to make this, spray an 11" x 7" oven-proof pan with non-stick spray. Heat oven to 375 degrees or what biscuit directions state on package. Heat mixture until very hot, pour into casserole dish.
- Melt butter in a deep bowl with Italian Seasonings. Open package of rolls and place on top of chicken mixture. Brush rolls with the melted butter/herb mixture.
- Bake in oven for 15-25 minutes until ROLLS ARE DONE and mixture is bubbling. My baking time was 18 minutes.
- Scoop one biscuit out onto deep bowl or rimmed plate and spoon chicken sauce either around it or directly over it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place one pie crust into a pie pan and press into place; prick bottom and sides with a fork. Set the second pie crust aside.
- Bake pie crust in the preheated oven for 3 to 5 minutes; it will still be pliable so you can seal it with the top crust later. Remove from the oven and lower temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a roux; cook and whisk until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in beef broth; continue to cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Stir in shredded pot roast, potatoes, carrots, onions, peas, and corn. Pour into the partially baked pie crust and cover with the remaining pie crust. Fold the edges of the top crust under the bottom crust and press edges together to seal. Cut 3 to 4 slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork for a more flavorful filling.
- Add some chopped vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, to the filling for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Use a good quality puff pastry for the crust. This will make the pot pie extra flaky and delicious.
- If you don't have time to make your own puff pastry, you can use store-bought puff pastry sheets.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pot pie. This will help the crust to rise and become golden brown.
- Let the pot pie cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Beef pot pie is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious beef pot pie that your family and friends will love.
