gredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
½ onion, diced

1 small potato, diced
½ cup peas
½ cup corn
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp flour
1 cup vegetable broth
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or regular milk)
½ tsp thyme
½ tsp salt

1 pre-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and potato, cooking until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in the garlic, then add the peas and corn, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the veggies and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Gradually add the vegetable broth and milk, stirring until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
Spoon the veggie mixture into the 8oz BounceBox Round.
Roll out the pie crust and cut out a circle to fit the top of the BounceBox. You can use the lid to help you measure! Use a small knife to carefully cut out a jack-o-lantern face on the crust.
Place the jack-o-lantern crust over the filling and press the edges lightly to seal.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving, and enjoy your spooky, delicious pot pies!
