Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 12 ounces canned tuna (drained)
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
• 2 refrigerated pie crusts
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk and broth while continuing to whisk, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 5

Stir in the drained tuna and frozen mixed vegetables until evenly combined. Set aside.

Step 6

Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, trimming off any excess crust around the edges.

Step 7

Pour the tuna and vegetable mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

Lay the second pie crust over the top of the filling. Trim any excess crust, then crimp the edges together to seal.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash.

Step 10

Use a knife to cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape while baking.

Step 11

Place the pot pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Allow the pot pie to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
