Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, sliced
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup diced potatoes
1 cup chopped green beans
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large oven-safe skillet, I melt the butter over medium heat. I sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent.
I stir in the carrots, potatoes, and green beans, cooking them for several minutes until they begin to soften. I sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well, letting it cook for about a minute to remove the raw flour taste.
I slowly pour in the vegetable broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Then I add the milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. I let the mixture simmer until it thickens into a creamy filling. I stir in the peas last.
I remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the biscuit dough pieces on top of the vegetable mixture. I place the skillet in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
I let the pot pie cool slightly before serving.
Servings and Timing
I usually get about 6 servings from this recipe.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Variations
I sometimes add mushrooms for a deeper, earthy flavor. When I want extra protein, I stir in cooked lentils or chickpeas. I also like experimenting with herbs such as rosemary or parsley for a fresh twist. If I prefer a richer filling, I swap part of the milk for heavy cream. For a cheesy version, I mix shredded cheddar into the sauce before topping it with biscuits.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When I reheat it, I prefer using the oven at 350°F to help the biscuits stay crisp. If I’m short on time, I microwave individual portions, though the biscuits may soften slightly. I avoid freezing it with the biscuits on top, as they can become soggy after thawing.
FAQs
Can I use fresh vegetables instead of frozen?
I often use fresh vegetables, and they work beautifully. I just make sure to chop them into small, even pieces so they cook evenly in the filling.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
I replace the butter with a plant-based alternative and use unsweetened non-dairy milk. The texture remains creamy and satisfying.
What if I don’t have an oven-safe skillet?
I prepare the filling on the stovetop and then transfer it to a baking dish before adding the biscuits and baking.
Can I make the filling ahead of time?
I sometimes prepare the filling a day in advance and refrigerate it. When I’m ready to bake, I add the biscuits and place it straight into the oven.
How do I know when the biscuits are fully cooked?
I check that the tops are golden brown and insert a toothpick into the center of a biscuit. If it comes out clean, I know they’re ready.
Conclusion
I find this Biscuit & Vegetable Pot Pie to be one of the most comforting and reliable meals I can make. It’s hearty, creamy, and topped with perfectly baked biscuits that bring everything together. Whenever I want a simple yet satisfying dinner, this is one of my favorite recipes to prepare.
