Beef pot pie

When I have to find a recipe to put on my blog I am looking through cookbooks,online, ans at pictures to try to find a flavorful dish to put on. Well the original  beef pot pie that I made sucked.The recipe called for you to drench the meat in a oil marinade with salt and not to cut off fat and it was just a fatty oily mess.  Well I   switched it up. I cut a nice cut of meat and instead of oil and salt I used thyme and vegetables  that have lots of flavor and BUM it  is amazing. This is packed with flavors and textures and it is home made into a delightful delicious dinner. If your kids are any thing like the kids in my family they love dessert. If you try to get them to eat there fruit,vegetables, or meat. All they want is cake and pie and ice cream. So this is how I get them to eat there meat and vegetables. I love taking  a spoon and just go into the middle and on that first bite you get the meat,crust,and vegetables all in one. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
