Ingredients
- Cooked beef brisket, pulled apart: The key to richness. Opt for brisket that is moist and full of flavor from its original cook
- Jalapeños, chopped: Adds heat and brightness. To keep it mild remove seeds and white ribs inside
- Onion, chopped: Brings sweetness and bulk. Yellow onions hold up best for slow simmering
- Frozen corn: Pops of color and natural sugar. Go for whole kernel for texture
- Peas: Their gentle sweetness and vibrant color make the filling balanced. Frozen baby peas give the best pop
- Beef broth: Deepens all the flavors. Use a low-sodium broth for more control over saltiness
- Garlic powder: A shortcut to depth of flavor. Choose a fresh jar
- Thyme: Adds herbal note. Dried thyme works but crush the leaves in your palm before adding
- Pie crust: Store-bought or homemade. Either gives a flaky golden topping. Chill well before using for best results
- Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for bringing flavors together. Use freshly cracked pepper for the most aroma
