For the filling, you’ll need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots

- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 pre-made pie crusts (or make your own)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, cooking until they are tender.
- Sprinkle in the flour, stirring continuously for about a minute until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble. Add the thyme, salt, and pepper.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
