INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pre-Cook the Vegetables
Sauté onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms in butter or oil until softened. Add potatoes and cook until just tender. Stir in peas last and remove from heat.
2. Make the Creamy Rosemary Sauce
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook 2–3 minutes to form a light roux. Slowly whisk in broth until smooth. Add evaporated milk and simmer until thickened. Season with rosemary, salt, pepper, and optional Cajun seasoning.
3. Combine
Fold the cooked vegetables into the creamy rosemary sauce until evenly coated.
4. Assemble the Pot Pie
Line a pie dish with the bottom pie shell. Add filling. Top with second pie shell if using. Crimp edges and brush with egg wash.
5. Bake
Bake at 375°F for 30–40 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool 10–15 minutes before slicing.
