This Easy Skillet Beef Pot Pie Recipe is the ultimate comfort food dinner recipe made easy! You'll love this hearty, cozy dinner – it's sure to be a hit with the whole family!

And, yes, it's EASY! Maybe pot pie isn't something you think you can have on the table in about 30 minutes, but this skillet pot pie is just that. You don't have to make pie crust because we are taking a shortcut and using canned biscuits.

It's filled with quick-cooking ground beef and vegetables in an easy homemade gravy and topped with biscuits. Plus, it's made in one skillet!

Instead of simmering tougher cuts of meat like traditional beef pot pies let's use ground beef which cuts down the cook time drastically! Most days I don't have time to babysit dinner and I'm assuming you don't either. So, easy yet comforting dishes are a must.

This pot pie is really a win-win: you get all the savory flavors and golden brown flaky crust, but served up in a skillet with hardly any clean-up. You have to try it!

It's right up there with my other easy comforting dishes like: Upside Down Pizza Casserole, Easy Taco Soup, Chile Con Queso Mac and Cheese. These are the kind of meals my family devours.

  • Ground beef – I like to use leaner ground beef so the filling is not too greasy. You could also use ground turkey if you'd like.
  • Chopped onion – White, yellow, or red onion are fine. Grab the frozen diced onion and keep it in the freezer!
  • Garlic – Minced garlic cloves
  • All-purpose flour – To make the homemade gravy.
  • Milk – for a richer gravy use whole milk or you can use 2% if you prefer.
  • Beef broth – For a more flavorful gravy use beef stock. If you are watching your sodium grab the low sodium beef broth.
  • Canned mixed vegetables – choose one with a mix of carrots, potatoes, peas, and corn
  • Canned biscuits – You could also top it with a layer of crescent rolls or puff pastry to give it more of the pot pie feel.
  • Herbs – Dried thyme or fresh thyme leaves give it so much flavor!

Other Options for the Crust:Instead of biscuits, you can use refrigerated crescent roll dough or even thawed puff pastry sheets. Or, pick up a refrigerated pie crust – just be sure to cut slits in the top before you bake the pot pie.

Other Options for the Vegetables: Instead of canned feel free to use frozen vegetables. You will need about three cups and you don't need to thaw them first.

Brown: In a large oven-safe skillet brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic until the meat is no longer pink. Drain off the excess fat if needed.

Thicken: Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the milk and broth and simmer until the liquid is thickened.

Assemble: Stir in the vegetables and then place the biscuits on top. You can leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces before placing them on top. Sprinkle the thyme over the top.

Bake: Place the skillet pot pie in the oven and bake it for 20 minutes at 400°F or until the biscuits are golden.

I don't have an oven-safe skillet. What else can I use?

You can make the pot pie filling in a skillet and then transfer it to a casserole dish. Cover it with the biscuits and bake it as instructed.

What else can you add to beef pot pie?

Mushrooms would work really well! You can also add other herbs like fresh parsley or dried herbs like oregano. Sometimes I add a few tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to amp up the savory flavor!

How long do leftovers keep?

Store them in an airtight container and they will keep for up to three days in the refrigerator. The biscuit topping might soften, but it will still be delicious!

Tips for making this Easy Skillet Beef Pot Pie:

Use any topping you desire, store-bought or homemade. Canned biscuits, pie crust, crescent dough, or even puff pastry are all great options and offer different variations. You don't have to cut up the biscuits either. I just like too because it makes it more fun for the kids. If you use pie crust just use one crust and lay on top. Cut a couple of slits to help vent the air. If using crescent dough break dough up into the triangles and arrange on top overlapping as needed.

I used 2 cans of mixed vegetables but frozen work great too. Use about 3 cups of frozen vegetables in place of the canned veggies. No need to thaw, just stir them in.

If you don't have a cast iron skillet just use any oven-going skillet or baking dish.
