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.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • ground beef1⁄3 lb
  • ground pork1⁄3 lb
  • ground veal1⁄3 lb
  • small onion, finely chopped1
  • small potato, grated1
  • small garlic clove, crushed1
  • salt1⁄2 teaspoon
  • celery salt1⁄4 teaspoon
  • clove1⁄4 teaspoon
  • cinnamon1⁄8 teaspoon
  • nutmeg1⁄8 teaspoon
  • water1⁄2 cup
  • pastry for double-crust pie1

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    Cool the meat mixture and pour in pastry lined pan. Note: I like to cool mine in refrigerator over night if time permits.

  3. 3

    Cover with the top crust, cut steam vents and bake in a 400F oven until golden, about 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    Freeze well.

  5. 5

    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.
