Hearty Veggie Pot Pie

Ingredients:
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 carrots, peeled and diced
– 2 stalks celery, diced
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 cups vegetable broth
– 1 cup milk
– 1 cup frozen peas
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 package store-bought pie crusts (2 crusts)

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add the carrots, celery, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Sprinkle the dried thyme, rosemary, and flour over the vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the flour.
5. Slowly pour in the vegetable broth and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Stir in the frozen peas and season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly.
8. Roll out one of the pie crusts and place it in the bottom of a pie dish. Spoon the vegetable filling into the pie crust.
9. Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
10. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
11. Bake the pot pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
12. Remove the pot pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
