### Instructions:
1. **Preheat oven** to 400°F (200°C).
2. **Prepare the filling**:
– In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
– Add onion and garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
– Stir in carrots, peas, tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper.
– Simmer for 5–7 minutes. If too liquidy, mix flour with a little water and stir it in to thicken. Let cool slightly.
3. **Assemble the pie**:
– Roll out the bottom crust into a pie dish.
– Spoon the cooled meat mixture into the crust and spread evenly.
– Place the top crust over the filling. Seal and crimp the edges. Cut small slits on top for steam to escape.
– Brush with beaten egg for a golden finish.
4. **Bake**:
– Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
– Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

### Tips & Variations:
– **Use leftover roast**: Shredded roast beef or lamb works beautifully in place of ground meat.
– **Add potatoes**: Diced cooked potatoes make it even heartier.
– **Make it spicy**: Add a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika for a flavor kick.
– **Mini pies**: Use muffin tins for individual meat pies—great for parties or lunch boxes.
– **Freezer tip**: Assemble and freeze unbaked. When ready, bake from frozen at 375°F for 50–60 minutes.
