1/2 cup green peas
1/2 cup corn kernels
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 refrigerated pie crust (or homemade)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

8. Press pie crust into a greased 9-inch pie dish.
9. Fill with meat mixture and smooth the top.
10. Cover with a second crust or lattice, crimp edges, and cut slits for steam.
11. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden.
12. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use puff pastry for a lighter, crispier crust.
Add mashed potatoes on top for a shepherd’s pie twist.
Freezes well—wrap tightly and reheat in the oven.
