Beef and Butternut Squash Potpie is amazing. Steak is teamed up with butternut squash, apples, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, bell peppers, onions, leeks and celery. It’s seasoned a little on the savory side but then it also has just a hint of sweet spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to make the point but without overwhelming the dish. This potpie could not have been more perfect!

These little potpies were wonderful. I actually baked one in a large deep dish pie, two in round ramekins and 4 in oblong bakers. I had enough filling for at least one more of the smaller baking dishes but I ran out of pie crust so I settled with this amount. I was on a potpie binge a couple of weeks ago and made my very first potpies with beef.

Then I decided to try one with butternut squash instead of potatoes and with a very subtle sweet edge. Oh, my. These potpies were heavenly. I ended up giving away the four that I made in the small oblong baking dishes to friends down the street who had a lot going on with their kid’s end-of-the-school-year programs. I think we all fell in love with these delicious potpies!

If you are going to give this potpie a try, I highly recommend that you go out and purchase all the ingredients. Don’t leave anything out. You will need all the savory flavors from the veggies and herbs to balance the sweet flavors from the butternut squash, apples and spices. It is perfection this way. But if you try to fool around with the recipe too much, you will probably not achieve the sumptuous and delightful dish that I did.

I was really happy with how my Beef Pot Pie turned out a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to try my hand at another one. This one has a gourmet flair with butternut squash and apples, along with all the veggies and seasonings. I also used my Homemade Coconut Oil Pie Crust which I think turned out as well, if not better, than crusts made with shortening. If you don’t mind a little bit of sweet flavor in a savory dish, then I think you’ll enjoy this lovely Beef and Butternut Squash Potpie. We sure did. And then some. 🙂

Beef and Butternut Squash Potpie will have you drooling. Butternut squash, apples, and sweet spices are combined with steak, veggies and savory herbs for the ultimate potpie experience!

Here’s a spoonful. 

You can bake these potpies in almost any kind of container. The recipe is enough to make 3 large 10-inch deep dish pies. So if you don’t have a lot of company coming over for dinner, you can freeze some of the potpies and bake later, or cut the recipe down for your immediate needs.

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients.

Brown beef in avocado oil.  Cover with lid and cook about 15 minutes until beef is tender. Add leeks, onions and garlic. Saute a few minutes.

Add mushrooms and saute about 5 minutes longer.

Add bell peppers, zucchini, carrots and celery.

Add beef broth.

Add butternut squash and apples.

Add seasonings. Cover with lid and simmer about 15-20 minutes or until squash and carrots are fork tender.

Here the veggies are tender.

Combine flour and water and make a thin paste. Add to beef mixture and heat through until thickened.

Turn off heat and set aside.

Roll out pie crust and fit into individual ramekins or pie plates. Do not add the filling until the top crust is ready. Otherwise if the filling sits in the crust too long it will get soggy. 

Add potpie filling.

Cover with lattice crust.

Here’s one of the smaller oblong dishes.

Flute edges, cover with lattice crust.

On the smaller ramekins, I decided to only put the crust in strips in one direction.

Bake at 350 about an hour or until mixture bubbles up thickly between the crust. If necessary, tent with foil to avoid over-browning the crust.

The smaller dishes took between 45 minutes and an hour to bake.

Beef and Butternut Squash Potpie is so succulent and delicious, you will find it on your dinner menu often. Especially in the winter months when you want hot, comfort food like this.

This potpie is incredibly hearty, filling and very satisfying. If you enjoy potpies like I do, you’ll love this one made a little on the sweet and a little on the savory side.

I guarantee, once you try one bite of this gourmet-style potpie, you won’t want to stop!

Here’s the recipe.
