Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the potatoes to the skillet and cook until lightly browned about 10 minutes. Add the onions, shallots and garlic to the potatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Move the potatoes over in the skillet and add the ground venison. Cook the venison until browned and then mix with the potatoes and onions. Season with the tarragon, parsley and salt.
Heat a separate small skillet over medium heat and add the butter and mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms until browned about 6-7 minutes.
Add the venison and potatoes to a pie plate and top with the mushrooms and shredded cheese.
Carefully set the pie crust over the top of the meat mixture and pinch the edges of the crust around the pie plate. Cut a few holes in the crust to allow for the steam to release. Lightly brush the top of the pie crust with the egg wash.
Bake the venison meat pie for 40-45 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown.
