Meat pie. Read Customer Reviews & Find Best Sellers. I got the recipe from my husband's mother. She is French so I believe this is a French Meat Pie.
Best served fresh, but you can also make ahead and freeze or refrigerate. This French Canadian meat pie is hearty, satisfying, and easy to make so it's a great choice for a holiday main course. Visually impressive, relatively affordable, and best served at room temperature, so a tourtiere doesn't require any kind of precise timing. You can cook Meat pie using 18 ingredients and 25 steps.

When pork is cooked remove fat from pan. The pie came out tasting almost exactly like the ones we used to make! I added a pinch more salt and a little allspice to the recipe, also a teaspoon of poultry seasoning along with the sage that this recipe called for. I have saved this recipe and will continue the old tradition of meat pies for Thanksgiving and New Years Eve.

The star of any meat pie recipe is obviously the meat, and we're making this Cajun classic recipe with ground beef, as per tradition. Cook until the meat is no longer pink, then add remaining ingredients mixing well. Allow flavors to blend for a few minutes, then remove from heat. On a floured surface roll out one of the dough balls to fit into a sprayed pie dish. Pour the meat filling inside the dough.
