Beef Pot Pie - the Best!

BlondieItaliana's Note:

Hearty comfort food at it's finest... Like a beef stew within a pie shell. Perfect for cold winter nights indoors. I happen to use a quiche' dish for an extra deep pie.

What can I say? YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Used homemade pie dough & ended up using a 13x9" rectangular glass pan as I wanted it deep dish as well. I'm glad I did because it did bubble a little bit and in a smaller pie pan would have been a mess. But this was delicious! My whole family loved it and my son who is picky, picky, picky at 3 helpings!

I used chicken granules instead of the bouillon cubes and I added peas to the veggies. I used leftover tip roast for the beef and used up the rest of the gravy from the roast, and it was really delicious!
