Preparation Method Steps

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and pork over medium heat. Drain off excess fat.
3. Add the onion, garlic, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
4. Stir in the corn, peas, and tomatoes.
5. Pour the meat mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.
6. Unroll one of the pie crusts and place it over the meat mixture. Trim the edges and crimp to seal.
7. Cut slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
8. Brush the crust with the beaten egg.
9. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Special Precautions and Tips

• If you don't have any tomato paste, you can substitute 1/4 cup of ketchup.
• If you don't have any Worcestershire sauce, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
• Be sure to cook the meat mixture until it is browned and the sauce has thickened. This will help to prevent the pie from being soggy.
• Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
