How to Make Meat Pie Tourtiere

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce 2 large russet potatoes. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until tender.
  2. While potatoes bake, prepare the filling. In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground pork over medium heat. Drain off excess grease.
  3. Peel and mash the baked potatoes.
  4. Add 1 medium chopped onion to the skillet with the pork and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in 2 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried sage, 1/2 tsp ground allspice, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the mashed potatoes and 1/4 cup beef broth to the skillet. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare your pie crust (use your favorite recipe or store-bought).
  8. Roll out the dough and line a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  9. Spoon the pork and potato filling into the pie crust, spreading evenly.
  10. Cover with the top crust. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut several steam vents in the top crust.
  11. Brush the top crust with 1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
  12. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges brown too quickly, cover with foil.
  13. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm. Enjoy!
