1 (10¾ ounce) can beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon seasoning salt (I use Johnny's)
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
¼ teaspoon thyme, crushed with fingers
3 -4 medium red potatoes, not small ones
1 cup sliced fresh baby carrots, measure after slicing
1 (7 ounce) can corn, drained
1 (14½ ounce) can green beans, drained
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained (optional)
2 cups (or a bit more) beef gravy, homemade or packet kind
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
For Pastry:
2½ cups flour
1 cup cold butter, cut up
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ tsp. finely crushed or ground dried rosemary
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼-1/2 cup ice water
1 tablespoon milk
pinches each of thyme, rosemary and some fresh cracked black pepper

Steps:

For Pastry:
In food processor, place flour, butter, salt, thyme, rosemary and pepper.
Mix for a few seconds, then slowly add ice water, pulsing, until mixture forms into a ball.
Divide dough in half, form into two round, flat disks, wrap each tightly in plastic wrap, and chill in fridge.
For Filling:
Place first 9 ingredients into pressure cooker. Place on lid.
Heat over medium heat til regulator starts rocking.
Adjust heat to a gentle rock, and cook for 15 minutes. Let pressure drop on it's own accord. (*Can also simmer in a pot for 45 minutes *or til tender, if desired to do it that way.).
Meanwhile, cut up potatoes and carrots and boil til tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Make 2 cups brown gravy and pour into large bowl.
Add potatoes, carrots and rest of vegetables.
Carefully open pressure cooker when safe, drain meat and onion, and add to gravy/veggie mixture.
Stir in a ¼ teaspoon each of garlic powder and pepper *or to taste.
Roll out 1 ball of chilled pastry to fit a 9" deepdish pie shell and place into dish.
Fill with meat mixture.
Roll out other ball of dough and cover pie, sealing edges well.
*You can do a lattice top, or cut slits to vent in solid top.
Brush top and edge with milk, sprinkle with dried thyme and rosemary, and fresh cracked black pepper. Just a light sprinkling of each.
Bake in 400Âº oven for 35-40 minutes. Let cool 20-30 minutes before slicing.
