I took foodfan's advice and added peas and carrots. I did my own crust with butter-flavored crisco. With a bottom crust, no browning, I increased the time to just over an hour in the oven. This was a simple and perfect tasting pot pie. My only complaint is that the whole process took a little longer than 3 hours.

This was a wonderful recipe. I did add some peas and carrots to bring in the vegetables. The crust was easy and tasted great. Liked the crust so much I made a bottom crust as well, browned it for 15 min, then added the rest of the pie.

I live in Japan, and this is the taste I was looking for. Normally thses recipes have no taste and you have to add salt. But this was perfect!!I was surprised how well it turned out. I made homemade beef broth, and sliced the steak a little bit thinner than the recipe said. I had some peas!!! Next time maybe add some fresh mushrooms!! Very happy...Will make again!!!

My family loved this, I just left out the "onion" word in the recipe title for them :) I used a gluten free flour mix to make crust and to thicken gravy for it, wonderful!

This was very good! Now mind you I made this and it was 90 degrees out and I don't have air in the kitchen. So this is what I did. I made the crust first, I useally don't use butter in my cust and with this pie it added a richness that really worked with the meat. And then because it was so hot I put it in the fridge while I made the filling, and this made the cust much easyer to work with. As far as the filling the only reason I only gave it 4 stars is because it tasted to much of flour, so the next time I make it I will make sure I am more carefull with the flour. I did not let it simmer for 45 min and the meat was very tender. Other than that it was really good and I can't wait to make it on a cooler night

I cheated and used a ready-made pie crust, but would like to rate it 5 stars anyway. I had doubled the beef/onion mixture to feed my family of four, ended up being only two of us, so I made two little pies in a muffin tin, with a top and bottom crust. Wow, this was good! I have left over beef/onion/gravy mix, so lucky me, I can easily make more tomorrow!

Super delicious recipe. I used my own crust recipe and it was delicious. We will definitely have this again. Thanks!

This was pretty good. I used peppers instead of potatoes though. It just seemed like starch over kill. I sauteed the meat, onions and peppers all together and then added the broth. I only let it simmer until it was thick instead of 45 minutes. Again I thought it was over kill. I also used a pie crust under and over it. It turned out great. A little bland. I would use more spices next time.
