Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.333 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 cups diced cooked ham
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (for biscuits)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt (for biscuits)
• 0.5 cup unsalted cold butter, cubed
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.75 cup whole milk (for biscuits)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes or until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the 1/3 cup of flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the diced ham, frozen peas, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for 2 minutes and then transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

To make the cheese biscuits, whisk together 2 cups of flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 9

Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 10

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Gradually add 3/4 cup of milk to the biscuit mixture, stirring just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 12

Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the ham mixture in the baking dish, leaving some space between each biscuit.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and baked through, and the filling is bubbling.

Step 14

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Ham Pie with Cheese Biscuits!
