1/2 pound ground pork
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon each ground cloves, ground mace and ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. In a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir 4-6 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add beef and pork; cook 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, breaking up meat into crumbles. Drain.
  • Stir tomato sauce and seasonings into meat mixture. Stir in spinach and potatoes. Remove from heat.
  • Unroll one pastry sheet into a 9-in. pie plate; trim even with rim. Add filling. Unroll remaining pastry; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Bake 10 minutes.
  • Reduce oven setting to 350°. Bake 45-55 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown. Cover edge loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning.
  • Yield: 8 servings.
