Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Servings: 3

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small chopped onion
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika
  • dash dried parsley
  • dash dried thyme
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 can tuna drained and flaked (5 to 6 ounce)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables thawed (carrots, peas, Lima beans)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 pie crust

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter; add onion and cook over medium-low heat until tender.
  • Blend in flour to make a light roux. Once the flour is fully incorporated, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, and thyme. Mix well.
  • Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbling and thickened, roughly 2-3 minutes.
  • Once the mixture is thickened, fold in the tuna, vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, and cheese. Season to taste.
  • Roll out the pie dough to about 1/16 of an inch in thickness. Using a bowl as a die, cut the dough into rounds. Cut as many as you can, then combine the dough and roll out again. One pie dough should make six 4-inch diameter rounds. Roll out three of the rounds to 8 inches in diameter. Place the rolled out rounds in the muffin pan.
  • Divide the mixture evenly between the three pie shells. Top with the remaining 3 rounds. Slice a few vents into the tops of the pies.
  • Place the baking dish on a baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until crust is browned and mixture is bubbly.
  • Gently flip the pies out onto a cutting board. There is enough butter in these to make them slide right out. If you feel a little sticking, run a butter knife around the edges.
  • Eat and enjoy!
