Italian Pot Pies

My friend passed this recipe onto me.  We ate it last night, and it was good!  It was quick and easy, too!

1Tbsp olive oil

1 med onion, finely chopped

2 carrots, finely chopped (I also added a yellow pepper.  Mushrooms would be good in this, too)

salt & pepper

1 lb ground beef (or turkey)

2 cups tomato sauce (I used 2 cups crushed tomatoes from the can and added some spices and it turned out great)

1 cup flour

1/4 cup grated Parm

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp dried rosemary

4 Tbsp butter, melted

1/2 cup milk

Preheat oven to 450.  In a large skillet, heat oil over med. heat.  Add onion, carrots (and any other veggies you choose); season w/ salt & pepper.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 6-8 mins).  Add meat and cook, breaking up into small pieces, 3-5 mins.  Add tomato sauce; bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally until mixture has thickened (8-10 mins).  Set aside.  

In a med. bowl, whisk flour, parm, powder, rosemary and 1/2 tsp salt; make a well in the center, and add melted butter and milk.  Stir just until dough comes together.  

Spoon into four 8-oz ramekins (or you could use a larger baking dish, I suppose); mound dough on top.  Place on a large rimmed baking sheet; bake until topping is golden brown and toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean (10-12 mins).
