Ingredients
- 1 lb shredded cooked brisket
- 2 red bell peppers, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup beef broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 pre-made pie crusts
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Set the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add the diced red bell peppers and cook for another 2 minutes.
3. Prepare the Sauce
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables, stirring to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then gradually pour in beef broth and heavy cream while stirring. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Add the Brisket & Cheese
Reduce heat to low and mix in the shredded brisket, cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese. Stir in thyme, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
5. Assemble the Pie
Lay one pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Pour in the brisket mixture, spreading evenly. Cover with the second pie crust, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork. Cut small slits in the top crust to release steam.
6. Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Cool & Serve
Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors of this indulgent brisket pot pie.
Pro Tips for Success
✔ Crispier Crust – Brush the top crust with a beaten egg before baking for a glossy, golden finish.
✔ Prevent Soggy Bottoms – Pre-bake the bottom crust for 5 minutes before adding the filling.
✔ Extra Flavor – Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or a splash of hot sauce for extra depth.
✔ Make Ahead – Assemble the pie in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
