Tourtiere Du Quebec (French-Canadian Meat Pie) image

I grew in Quebec and always looked forward to Christmas to be able to eat meat pies. When I married & moved to the US, I took the recipe with me, no way I can spend Christmas without the smell of cooking meat pies. Luckily for me, hubby & kids are hooked. I've been making this recipe for years, delicious.

Time 1h35m

Yield 1 pie, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 lb ground beef
1/3 lb ground pork
1/3 lb ground veal
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 small potato, grated
1 small garlic clove, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup water
1 pastry for double-crust pie

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients (except for pie shell) in a sauce pan and bring to boil and cook uncovered for 20 minutes over medium heat.
  • Cool the meat mixture and pour in pastry lined pan. Note: I like to cool mine in refrigerator over night if time permits.
  • Cover with the top crust, cut steam vents and bake in a 400F oven until golden, about 45 minutes.
  • Freeze well.
  • Note: If ground pork and ground veal cannot be found, you can use meatloaf mix which is all 3 meat but I'm not sure of the ratio.
